Old Fence Stays

Our neighbor recently had some of her cross-fencing taken down. Walking in her pasture one day, I snapped a few shots of her old fence stays with my cell phone. I think they hold a lot of beauty, even if they don't hold barbed wire any longer or hold back livestock.

Whistlers on Wednesday 25

The lighting is not ideal on these, but I'd say this was certainly a case of 'getting your ducks in a row.'

Rather like cowboys at the saloon. :)

Green-Winged Teal

Last week, I showed you a few Blue-Winged Teal duck visitors. We had a Green-Winged Teal drake stop by, as well.

Pretty green stripe!

And sometimes the head just looks a dark brown.

Alongside a whistling duck.

And the light catches that pretty stripe, again.

Such a beautiful duck!
