Saturday Critters

Welcome!

I've been trying to get back into posting on this blog again but sometimes it's difficult to find the time to post and read posts.  At any rate I hope you still will want to follow me and continue to post comments when I am able to post.

Joining Eileen (Viewing Nature with Eileen) today for:
SATURDAY CRITTERS

I took a drive with my mom Thursday afternoon.  We drove up, Mill Creek and along the way up and back we spotted several groups of deer.  I'm sharing their photos with you today.

Spotted this one near a stream or pond and managed to snap a quick shot.

Turned around and drove back down and low and behold there were a couple more deer at the same spot.

Next up I spotted a nice looking Buck and a Doe in someones yard so I had to turn around to get on the same side of the road and managed a few shots of them.

I hate it when my camera decides to focus on the grass and not the deer but it made for an interesting shot I think.

I finally managed a good shot of Mr. Buck after he stood up.  Nice Antlers.

He wandered over to the Doe and I got a shot of both of them.  She sure was a nice bright reddish brown color.

Spotted one more Buck with a slight less impressive set of Antlers but they are impressive in their own "funky" way I think.

Looks like he's giving me the "raspberry" there.

It's always fun to spot deer in the wild and get photos of them.  I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I did taking them.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

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.
