Weekend Reflections

Well, here it is the weekend, and I'm here with my water reflections again. There are just so many Canada geese around where we live, and it's not difficult to find some .
Happy weekend, and click over to http://weekendreflection.blogspot.com to see more reflections.

Friday's Fences

I have driven past this fence many times on our way to watch trains, but since it is on a busy highway I rarely got a chance to take a picture with no one following me. Finally last Tuesday presto! Clear behind our van. I love this kind of fence and the grape vines behind just make it unique.

Bright and Sunny Thursday

Driving by one of the local Amish schools the other day, the children were just on their way out to play.

Soon lots more came out, but it must have been too cold, because they all went right back inside.

Also driving by the pond in a neighbring town I spotted a group of Ring-billed gulls resting on the ice. Not all the water is frozen, but will soon be, although we are promised warmer weather by the weekend.

The other side of the pond is a stream, and lots of Canada geese hang out here.

Then along the harbor at Barcelona, New York, on Lake Erie it was windy and was a bit rough this day. The gulls were finding something to eat on the shore, and I did see some fishing Cormorants too.
A sunny day today, and even though it is cold, we are enjoying it to the fullest.
Take care everyone, and prayers are sent to all on the East coast in this latest bout with Mother Nature.

Wild Bird Wednesday

Taking a ride to Lake Erie earlier this week I spotted some geese I had never seen before. Checking my Sibley's I see they are Pale-bellied Brant geese. A new lifer for me too.  They winter on the East coast, and don't normally get this far inland. I'm wondering if hurricane Sandy had something to do with it??

Barn Charm

Last Friday I posted this very unusual "fence" on Friday's Fences. This particular section is part of a long fence bordering the Pennsylvania Dept. of Highway buildings in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The fence is all made from discarded road signs. I saved this one out to post today for Barn Charm.
If you want to see more of the "fence" just scroll back to my Friday Fences post.

Weekend Reflections

Well, when it has been raining for a week, there isn't much to photograph except water.
On the lake 5 miles from here lots, and lots of geese spend the day.

Friday's Fences

This fence is probably the most artistic fence I have ever seen. It is along a very busy highway, and surrounds the Pennsylvania Dept. of Highway in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The entire fence, and I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the length, is all made from discarded highway signs. Very unusual indeed.

Check out the bird in front.
