I spotted this vine creeping through the chain link fence at my mom's house a couple of weeks ago (before the cold snap hit) and thought it looked cool and would make for a great entry for Good Fences so I snap a few photos of it.
Next I made it outside one day after our snow arrived. Which by the way didn't amount to more the 1-2 inches but the darn stuff has stuck around on the ground due to the below freezing temps we've had here. Anyway I decided to photograph the top of the chain link fence that borders our property and the neighbor on the other side of us.
Finally I spotted this magpie flying off with a peanut and of course it flew right near the neighbors fence that lives across the street from us so how could I not include this shot.
Of course I'd rather we were back to the weather in the vine shots but I'm afraid that's not happening any time soon.
So be sure to stop in at Theresa's blog and check out all the other great fence shots. - Stay Warm and Safe.
The picture of the magpie with the white tips on its wings look like he has been in the snow as well.

The Virginia Creeper is lovely in the first shots however I also love the snow on the fences in the rest of the shots

What great fence shots! Was that red vine poison oak??? I noticed 5leaves and I know it can turn really red in the fall...anyway, it sure is beautiful! It seems like our winter is starting early this year...no snow yet here in NC. Great shot of the bird...looks like he's heading right for that fence...watch out!!! Lol!
ReplyDeleteHi Ida,
ReplyDeleteGreat fences, especially with the bird in the scene!
The leaves look deliciously red.
Peace :)
I like your snowy fence photos!
ReplyDeleteTo bad that the snow is making all that mess out there, I so hope things get better soon. Your pictures are so pretty, but I'm loving the ones with the red vine.
ReplyDeleteNo restraining that vine.
ReplyDeleteVery nice - love that shot of the magpie! xo Karen
ReplyDeleteYour photos are marvelous Ida. I love the tendrils on the pretty red leaves, and also how you've caught the bird in flight. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a magpie. I agree the red leaves of that vine and the curly tendrils are rather pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red on that vine! I like the close up snow shots and the wooden fence, too!
ReplyDeleteOh.. my heartbeat quickened at the sight of that magpie.. I saw a couple of them once several years ago. Such a treat. The only sighting.. ever.. except for those in photos and this one does wonders for that fence :) I'm glad you didn't get the snow people in Buffalo are experiencing, and as always, love your photographic eye.
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures, Ida. I love the red vine and those tendrils.
ReplyDeleteThat magpie shot is awesome.

Oh Ida, you really have some great close ups of the fence and vine and I just don't know what to say about this early snow...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your different fences. The red flowers was a perfect accent to that chain link one. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteLove the red vine with the reaching, grasping tendrils.
ReplyDeleteGreat fences, Ida, but I think the vine and the Magpie stole the show. I am with you ... I am counting the days until spring. We have a long way to go, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
These are some excellent captures. Love the detail on the close ups of the vine.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's such a pretty shade of red vine creeping through the fence! Seeing the snow on top of the chain link fence gives me a chill! The metal looks really cold! Magpie is probably looking for a dry spot to sit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to comment on my fence image.

I'm just a little jealous, look at how beautiful snow can make a plain old chain link fence!! Enjoy it, it makes for some great blogging material!!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I prefer the photos of the Virginia Creeper vine to the snow (not always my favorite to have to be out in although it is pretty in pictures.)
ReplyDeleteThe red leaves are beautiful, dear Ida! What a beautiful way of capturing nature.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend! Hugs
I think this is the first time I noticed that a chain link fence (the one with the snow) has little heart shapes at certain angles. Very nice shots, Ida.
ReplyDeleteVery creative shots. I think the second one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove all your fence pictures :)Very nice close ups! *thumbs up*

Nice photos with the redvine and so different fences... but the snow had not must come -
ReplyDeleteMagpies are really pretty birds.
Have a quiet weekend :-)
I love your fences Ida it looks like winter has a grip on you too. Keep warm. Hug B
ReplyDeleteWell, that is one way to make a chain link fence pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I really like the one with the ring. So nice! Stay warm!!!! Brrrr!
ReplyDeleteThey are all nice shots. I love the magpie!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great fence shots. I really like the vine growing on these fence. The snow covers all when it arrives. We had a dusting of snow yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI had to pick some shots I took in the summer of the chain link fence across from my house. It has a similar vine too. I love it as photographic inspiration: it makes such a simple frame for anything.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture with the peanut thief!!
Cool looking clouds. Looks like mountains of snow to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I just love the red vine against the fence...the contrast is wonderful! And I love the fence and snow!
ReplyDeleteGreat eye! I do love your fence photographs.
ReplyDeleteThe warm red vine against the gray cold metal fence is a nice contrast. It's also a beautiful red. And I really like the curly tendrils too. Stay warm and slip on the ice. The weather does sound terrible.
ReplyDeletefences are great for the wined to climb. Nice shot on the magpie :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful fence shots! I love those red leaves.
