Not that I like buzzards, but this was a surprisingly good picture of them 🙂

Pelicans in the Midwest!
It’s funny. Â I always thought pelicans and seagulls were oceanic birds. Â However, we actually have a ton of them in the midwest. Â For some reason the gulls like the Rivers (and the farms). Â You will see a lot of them in the water pooling in the rows of crops on the farm. Â And the pelicans show up with the eagles in winter. Â Now sure if they get confused by the river water or what, but hey! I get to see pelicans!!

Say hello to Spring! Â Apparently April Showers really do bring April Flowers, at least daffodils. Â Spring has Sprung at last!

Pearl Button Capital
My best picture of the pearl diver statue in Muscatine Iowa. For those who don’t know, Muscatine was the Pearl Button capital of the world. You may actually still have pearl buttons on some blouses, they are the whitish buttons with rainbow pastel colors. Usually very thin. This is where they gathered the pearls and made the buttons.
Korean War Memorial
The Monument at the War Memorial of Korean. Funny thing, I thought it was supposed to be the Korean War Museum (i.e. just that war), but it is actually dedicated to all the wars they’ve fought in. So it included stuff clear back to the ancient days. This monument though was their big dedication to the Korean War.
