My post today I sharing some fence scenes from my neighborhood for Tex's Good Fence meme, a bird of course, a couple shots of the sunrise, sunset and the moon for my Skywatch Friday post. I decided everyone needed a break from my vacation photos, so this post is mostly from around my yard and the bike trail.
I have been leaving a little later in the morning and now I am seeing sunrises on my way to work. I like this orange sky and sunrise..
Our weekend walk was along the NCR trail, a local bike, hike and running trail. There is a pretty cascade falls in one spot we like to stop and admire the view.
This shot above is my perfect find for Tex's Good Fence post. A view of the fence, trail and the cascading river.
This shot looks better if you click for a larger size.. Along the trail there is a private house where all these cute gnomes live.. Some gnomes have to stay behind the fence..
Heading back to the car, I saw a family of Carolina Wrens playing around, they were hopping from branch to branch, it was difficult to get one clear shot. I heard a lot of other birds along the trail they were just camera shy.
A sunset from my deck, a little color here and there. The sky was still pretty.
My moon shot taken June 3, 2014 is the pretty Waxing Crescent.
While watching the sky and moon I was standing on my deck listening to the sounds of the Great Blue Heron in the tree tops near my neighbors house. They can get pretty loud, but this sounds reminds me of trains on the track..or a dog breathing real loud. I hope you enjoyed my post..
To see more pretty skies from around the world please visit Skywatch Friday
and check more fence shots at Tex's Good Fences
Thanks to Tex @ The Run*A*Round Ranch for hosting Good Fences and to Sylvia, Yogi and Sandy for hosting Skywatch Friday! I wish everyone a safe and happy long weekend.

PRETTY images Eileen.
"Love" the American Idle too. Cute.
A great collection of shots. Beautiful sunrise & moon and I just loved the little gnomes and I had a chuckle at the sign.
Cute little Carolina wren. And that's a neat fence shot!
I love the American Idle. Nice series of nature shots!
Such a shame those little people have to live behind the fence like that Eileen. Loved the sunrise, the moon and of course the Wren.
Have a great weekend Eileen.
Looks like a lovely place to take a walk beside the wooden fence. I was just looking at my photos of fences along a trail ---but I already posted my fence for today. I'll post them another time.
I like the gnomes, too. More than 60 years ago, near my elementary school there was a steep cliff up to a house at the top. The man who lived there build turrets and towers from stone all the way up and added gnomes near the top. It became a local landmark. If you were giving directions, you'd say, go past "The Castle" and turn left.....
I took my mother back to our old neighborhood about 10 years ago. "The Castle" was still there, but lots of stones were missing, it was covered in weeds, and the gnomes were gone.
These are wonderful. I ran around the yard yesterday, trying to capture a photo of a pair of warblers, or something. I failed and was bitten like stink. Happy to view yours!
you live in a really nice locale! the 'idle' made me laugh. thanks for linking, eileen!
Great fences...:)
Ah, love that moon shot!
Lovely photos...
oh I love #1 so beautiful scenery as well. Fence to the right in the distance. Breathtaking.
Beautiful nature in your " backyard "! That neighbor has quite a gnome collection. Leaving home later so you can see a sunrise? Later? You used to leave in the middle of the night! Wow! I am impressed.
Beautiful photos today! The American Idle made me laugh.
Love that first sunset
Oh great shots and yes it is true Some gnomes have to stay behind the fence. A pretty one at that. B
Nice sunrise shot. Such vibrant colors! And I really like your pic of the moon too. Nice details.
Ja, sehr schöne Bilder!
Liebe Grüße,*Manja*

Dimi...
Beautiful photography.
I love the gnome display- that's cute! Have you ever seen any snakes there? It looks like a gorgeous trail to walk and sight see..and take photos!
Wow.. so lovely and pretty the sky is at sunset from your yard... the walk,too, but I have to say wooow.... what cutee..gnomes in your post!!! my sis will love them for sure if I tell her about!

Beautiful photos and collages, Eileen.
The sun and the moon are really great.
Beautiful scenery there.
Greetings Irma
Wow - seeing the sunrise is awesome. The sun is up at 4:20 here so that makes for an early start to the day. I like to be awake before the first bird sings - which is about 4:05 now - sometimes I am and sometimes I just hear them already singing when I wake up about 4:30 - they are very loud. I like to stay in bed and listen for a bit to the bird songs.
All beautiful shots, Eileen!
Love that small cascading water; I can hear it :-)
Love these amazing shots! Great sunset and sunrise...wonderful moon. And that Carolina Wren just looks so sweet. Plus the fence, of course! :-)
Lovely walk! Soon very soon, I'll be able to enjoy those outdoors again. It's too hot here!:) Love the side shot of the Carolina Wren. Cool little birds with a beautiful song.
What a beautiful sunrise! Isn't it the most wonderful way to start our day with a view like that :)
I love all the other pictures, too. Nature pictures have the same effect on me as nature itself, they calm me and make me happy :) That moon shot is amazing!
Olá Eileen, isso tudo por aí se assemelha ao paraíso!
Belíssimos lugares e as fotos estão magnificas!
Adorei todas, mas a foto da lua está fenomenal!
Uma foto bem certeira! Consegue-se observar as cavidades lunares!
Parabéns e abraços!
Ailime
What a beautiful sunrise to greet you in the morning. LOVE the crescent moon shot.
P.S. I could never tire of your vacation photos. :)
That is a beautiful sunrise....I love where the gnomes live! That is just so cute.
And I LOVE Carolina wrens...I love a lot of birds but they are probably either first or tied for first in my favorites.
That moon shot looks so close - very professional looking. I like your American Idol too!
Wonderful post from start to finish. The Sunrise and Sunset shots were so pretty. I would so enjoy that walk and seeing the lovely waterfall and may I just say that place with all the Gnomes, so fun!
Just love all your photos, Eileen! But that sunrise is simply glorious, and the moon shot is stellar!!
Lovely series Eileen, and your sunset, we have one down here so similar, with trees in the foreground too, Super mosaic, and the fence, just asking for someone to walk along there. Cheers,Jean.
Eileen, these are just picture perfect!!!...:)JP
All wonderful photos! The moon shot is magnificent!
There is something so fascinating about the moon. I could just stare and stare
I'm not sure that I needed a break from your vacation photos, but I sure enjoyed all of these pictures. I hope you have a great weekend.
Glorious skies and terrific captures as always, Eileen!! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!!
Very nice. I love the sunrise !
You always have such wonderful views, but your moon shots always take my breath away!
I'm not much into fences (and I've seen a lot on blogs today---ha) ---but I love your photos especially the cascades and the sky pictures..
Hugs,
Betsy
especially like the little wren
I love your colorful sky and moon shots and always love to see your birds.
Eileen, Such beautiful photos. The skies are lovely, the fence and road is just a really good photo, and the moon is spectacular. Thanks for always posting some interesting pics. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)

Lovely photos, Eileen.
Your moon photo is just amazing! It's been so bright in the sky here every night this week! Love the gnomes behind the fence. We just got a little water feature for our courtyard and now all of a sudden...I'm looking for gnomes or something to inhabit the rocks! lol Hugs!
Your photos are amazing! Really enjoyed all of them!
Blessings,
Gert
Great shots. Got a kick out of "American Idle".
A complete post, skies, fences, birds, and gnomes. Thank you for sharing.
Great photos! The moon shot made me catch my breath, literally. It's stunning!
A sign warning of copperheads? EEK! I look around for snakes every time I go outside. We've found one skin in the yard. I'm petrified.
That sunrise is stunning! I loved your walk and the sights and the gnomes are simply delightful.
Have a great upcoming weekend Eileen.
Nice shots. The NCR trail looks inviting. Great moon shot. Are you sure you were still on this planet when you took that one? ;)
Nice captures from start to the end of the day...
Beautiful series of photos. The moon shot is outstanding. Someone spent a lot of time creating the gnome house. My granddaughter would love it. Beautiful header too!
Stunning sky shots - and what lovely, lush nature.
The scenery are beautiful, the first is my favourite, fantastic.
Wow, stunning photos! You've reallye catched some great landscape and sky captures, and I love your last photo, the moon. It's amazing that you've managed to capture such details on the surface!
I wish you a happy weekend!
Wonderful series. The moon shot is awesome.
Indeed great shots and a nice fence. I like it.
And a good morning to you Eileen.
