    I saw something similar in NE Alabama last summer. A bunch of rocks painted to resemble animals. I didn't realize that others farmers did the same.

    It's not exactly farmland and it's not exactly natural...in fact, I'm not exactly sure what it is, other than a giant frog riding a motorcycle. This was found in a field off the side of the road as I was coming back from the Advrider Sierra Soiree last summer. It was in Calavaras County, so this was probably a float for a parade...

    "What might it be that you've got in the box?"

    And Smiley says, sorter indifferent like, "It might be a parrot, or it might be a canary, may be, but it an't -- it's only just a frog."

    And the feller took it, and looked at it careful, and turned it round this way and that, and says, "H'm -- so 'tis. Well, what's he good for?"

    "Well," Smiley says, easy and careless, "He's good enough for one thing, I should judge -- he can outjump any frog in Calaveras county."

    I have always enjoyed the things you find along the backroads. Here is one side of a barn I spied a few weeks ago in Putnam County Indiana......1808924-L.jpg

    Cool shots, pathfinder. Where's Putnam county? Enquiring minds want more profile info. :D
