It's time for some GOOD FENCES hosted by Theresa, (The Run-a-round Ranch Report)
Today I'll be sharing some fences taken on our recent (Oct.17) trip to Elgin, OR to ride the Eagle Cap Excursion Train. - Mind you all of these shots were taken from a moving train (which had dirty windows) so they aren't the best quality photos but I think they turned out okay.
We pulled into a small town an I snapped this charming little gate.
Today's Things to be Thankful For:
1. Being able to take this train ride (my first time on a train) and getting some great photos.
2. Good Fences
3. Wildlife - We saw, Deer, Turkey & my most favorite of all a Bald Eagle!
4. Good Friends, My friend (Teresa) from Spokane is visiting today so I'm looking forward to spending time with her.
5. That my cat (Captain Cuddles) is starting to get better. He has a bad case of Feline Acne that we are dealing with. It's starting to clear up but having to wash his chin every day is hard on him so I'm happy that it's looking better and the antibiotics the Vet gave him are clearing up the infection from the clogged pores.
I will try to get by your blogs this weekend. Since I have company today and tomorrow Coleen is having surgery I'm not sure when I'll be able to pop in but I'll get there sooner or later.
Oh your first train ride how exciting. I love the views from a train and I love all of yours. Nice moss fence and nice deer fence. Great shots Ida. Hug B
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos - each one very beautiful! I love the fence on the hill and the abandoned farmhouse. Nice that you got the photo of the eagle, too! Enjoy your visit and hope Colleen has a quick recovery. x Karen
ReplyDeleteHello Ida!:) It's great that you saw and photograph the eagle, on your first train ride, and I really enjoyed your captures along the way. Lovely deer shots and some unusual fences and gates.
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures......My favorite of all is the one with the red post. It sure caught my eye!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great series ... and from a train with dirty windows. Would never have guessed the windows were dirty because the pictures are clear. I love all of this ... being and animal/bird lover, you can which are my favorites. But, I have to say, I like that moody house ... looks like there should be a little ghost coming out of the window or something. Great post, Ida ..

I was thrilled when I saw an eagle for the first time! Glad you enjoyed your train ride.
ReplyDeleteIda, you got some wonderful shots...I think that house has an 'air' about it, too. Congratulations on getting the shot of the eagle. Hope Coleen's surgery goes well...I was going to say I hope it isn't serious, but it must be for her to have surgery.
ReplyDeletelovely snaps all along the way. sweet gate, nice wire fences, and i'm guessing some sort of loading pen/chute.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures. Looks like my kind of place.
ReplyDeleteLovely fence and visitors, Ida!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are really beautiful and comforting - there is some calmness in them that I absolutely love.
Nature - what a gift!
Have a Great Weekend!
Peace :)
Love those shots with the deer! Great variety of fences! I especially like the wooden ones. Congrats on the eagle! I've never photographed an adult in the wild.
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing that deer and then that old house! Love it!
ReplyDeleteQuite the collection of fences. I like the snow fence.
ReplyDeleteHi Ida, what great fence shots. Love the country side scenes. The deer are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy time with your friend and I hope your cat gets better. Hope Coleen's surgery goes well.
Have a nice weekend. xo
Charming collection of fences! I would be excited to see an eagle so close.
ReplyDeleteFabulous fences Ida....and from a moving train....well done!! What a shame that house has been abandoned....I think it is just lovely....wish I could somehow spirit it here onto my block of land...but in better condition of course!
ReplyDeleteps...love your new header!
So many wonderful shots, Ida and a great variety of fences! I am amazed by the beauty of the deer blending right in with the grasslands and the eagle is a fantastic capture! Well done!
ReplyDeleteso many nice fences. Love the little gate and the eagle :)
ReplyDeleteLoved taking that little train ride with you. I love trains, but passenger trains are not common up here. That little gate looks misplaced, like they forgot to build the rest of the fence. Love that huge, old house. Yes, very moody indeed.
ReplyDeletei think your images are beautiful, a train ride with a lot to see, you can't beat that!!!! and congrats on the bald eagle, it's awesome to see them in the wild!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your train ride with me...love the trains, so very nostalgic. Great shots along the way, especially the eagle.
ReplyDeletegreat photo shots, I really like the tone in them and impressed that this was your FIRST time on a train, you must be rare, did you enjoy it? Our Yola gets feline acne under her chin, it comes and goes but never so bad that she suffers to date, though she doesn't like us cleaning she allows it.Glad you see improvement..
ReplyDeleteYour train ride was very good for your picture taking. Despite the moving and dirty windows you got excellent pictures. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the "feel" of these pictures, and wow for that bald eagle shot.
ReplyDeleteI am not a rancher per say, but I did grow up spending a lot of time on my grandparents farm, and we used those little pens for whenever we needed to separate an animal from the rest of the herd. Maybe it had to take some medicine, or we would check it for an injury, or a pregnant animal. It just keeps the animal from escaping, and/or keeps you safe from other animals that might gather around.
A whole series of great shots Ida. I liked the ones with the deer and the eagle especially, but all of them are lovely!
ReplyDeletea pity that home is abandoned. it would have been lovely.Love the variety of fences in this post. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh great fencing Ida. My computer is giving me problems. So bear with me if I am late.
ReplyDeleteA guy is to see what is the problem o Sunday.
As soon as a phone call come sin. My computer shuts down for hours.
I thnk you kindly for your comments to my blogs always.
so beautiful... I wish I was there
ReplyDeleteLooks likr that was a excursion train worth taking!
ReplyDeleteHappy that Captain Cuddles is better. You captured some unique and great shots on the train ride. I love that fence post covered in moss. Wishing you and yours a great day.
ReplyDeleteThere are just so many fabulous photos in this series that it's hard to choose one for a special comment! What a great eye you have! It has been a delight to spend time here!
ReplyDeleteThose deer look very comfortable. Love the bald eagle!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos and love the fences and deer selections!
ReplyDeleteHappy Week ahead,

Isn't it fun to take a train ride? Some longtime women friends and I rode a train from Denver to Glenwood Springs, CO to celebrate a 75th birthday. It was wonderful seeing the views from the train. You got some great photos, Ida - I know what you mean about dirty windows!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun train ride. I think your photo's turned out really well, and you captured so many neat things! Glad you were able to get a bucket list item too :)
ReplyDeleteThe fences are all great, and wow, that bald eagle!
ReplyDelete~
Hope Coleen is doing well. I'm in agreement with TexWisGirl on what the fence is for--sorting/loading. Love the images of the deer and the moody house.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic array of fences and wildlife! Would love to see a bald eagle one day..wow! And that old abandoned house is so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of some very interesting scenery, fences and animals. Love the old house.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures
These are great photos, Ida! The dirty windows make them look more rustic, I guess. I don't see that the windows or the moving train compromised the photos at all, really. I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photoseries in my most beloved colors, especially #2 and #10....
