Good Fences - January 8, 2015

Welcome! - It's time to join Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) for GOOD FENCES.

Coleen and I went to Taco Bell (her mom works there) for lunch last week.  As we drove past Mill Creek Coleen was excited about the ice that was on the water and said we had to go back after lunch to take some pictures.  Which is exactly what we did.  So these first few photos have nothing to do with a fence but eventually you'll see where my mind was going.

                               Ice build up on the side of the bank. 

Coleen was surprised to see duck swimming in the icy water.

Here they are walking on some of the ice on the partially frozen creek.

So what do ducks have to do with fences you ask....well nothing really except that I happened to notice that this particular bridge while being made of concrete happened to resemble a fence.

A closer look at some of the "railings"

The view from across the street.

The year the bridge/fence was built.

Well there you have it, a fence that really isn't a fence but actually a bridge built to look like a fence.

Don't forget to stop in a check out all the other great fences. -  Why not join in on the fun and start looking for your own fences to share!

Have a great day.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday - January 5, 2014

Welcome. -  My SONGOGRAPHY post can be found by clicking on the link.

I hadn't planned on a SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY entry because I didn't realize that a list of prompts had been posted until about 10:00 tonight when I popped by Ashley's blog and low and behold she had a post up.  I missed seeing the list she'd posted because I didn't scroll all the way to the end of the post.  Needless to say I was scrambling to fit this weeks prompts into photo's I've taken this week.

I want to first say that I was so excited to have participated in a full year of Scavenger Hunt Sunday last year.  I completed 51 weeks without missing one.  I would have done the 52nd week if Ashley hadn't taken a break that week.  Can't say I will make another entire year of the hunt but I'll give it a try.

Here are this week's prompts:  Photographer's Choice, Lunch, Starts with the Letter G, My Town and Words to Live by.

Click to enlarge photo's.

PHOTOGRAPHERS CHOICE:  This was "easy peasy" because I think this is my favorite photo that I took this week.  Coleen and I went up to Bennington Lake this week as I wanted to test out my new zoom lens.  I was clear across the lake when I took this shot and I just love how detailed it turned out and how pretty the landscape is.

LUNCH:  Okay this is a stretch because I never took any actual lunch photo's but I did take a New Year's breakfast photo and since it was fairly late in the morning when we ate I'm calling it a "Brunch" photo instead.

STARTS WITH THE LETTER G....This is "Ghost" the cat featured in my header photo right now.

MY TOWN:  Coleen and I went for a walk with Pixie today and I snapped  this photo of one of the bridges that are in our town.

WORDS TO LIVE BY:  With the start of a New Year come resolutions, or as many are doing picking a "word" to focus on throughout the coming year.  (Mine is Love) but I thought this quote was also a good for the prompt.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out Ashley's blog to see what others come up with for the prompts.  -  If you can participate do so.  Here are the prompts for next week. (Happens Everyday, Upside Down, Natural, Man-Made, Looking Down.)
