Just a couple photos this week for Good Fences...

First we have this gate/fence shot taken just a couple weeks ago...

and then we have this.. I have posted a version of it a few years ago. Not the best lighting, but still we can see this Short-eared owl. Several of them used to come to the strip pit area and spend the winter. I have not seen a single one out there in over two years, maybe three.

Just for the heck of it, I will throw this one in, too. I hope you like them....

IF I can remember, I am linking to Theresa's meme:

John "By Stargoose And Hanglands" said...: Wonderful home-made look to that gate. Short-eared Owls are a species that also turns up here during winter, just one can brighten any winter's day.; February 17, 2016 at 11:57 PM

Loved the owl shots too, how cool to capture one in the daytime like that. I rarely see owls so this was a treat.; February 18, 2016 at 1:35 PM

genie said...: That gate is the cutest thing. Someone was very creative with their yellow flower. Your owl photos are amazing. I am still in awe of all the birds you have in your area. You are so lucky.; February 18, 2016 at 8:25 PM

Small City Scenes said...: Wonderful, Rose. I would love to paint on a piece of our wood fence at the side of the house. I do plant viney plants that cover the fence in the summer time and Bob would not understand why I would paint a scene on the fence. I should ask him.
