Good Fences

Linking up with Skywatch Friday  and Good Fences

Another week is rolling along and Easter is next weekend on the 20th. April is flying by, even though my days at work are going slow.. This is my first time linking up with Tex's Good Fences. I hope to see you there along with Skywatch Friday.


The photos for today's post were from last Saturday, the Alpacas were seen at the Smithsonian National Zoo. I saw the fence and knew I had to link up with Tex's linky party called "Good Fences".




 I love the alpacas they have the cute faces, just adorable animals..



On the same day, I took this moon shot. On April 5, 2014 it is the Waxing Crescent with 33% visible.


I just have to include some birds on my post, so here is a couple of House Finches at my feeder.


The sun is setting, seen from our backyard!


 Love the pretty colors looking down the street from the mailbox..


 Also on Saturday I was able to watch this colorful sunset.. The sunset shots are from our backyard and the other is our front street. So this completes our day.... a visit to the zoo in Washington, DC and back home in plenty of time for the sunset.. I hope you enjoyed my post. 

 I hope to see you on Saturday sharing your critters..

To see more pretty skies from around the world please visit  Skywatch Friday
and 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.

  38. Hi Eileen, Really nice picture of the Moon. I also like your Zoo shots. I had tried unsuccessfully to take a picture of Mars the other night during the alignment, but no go. So no Martians are unhappy with my poor photography! Ha! Have a wonderful Friday tomorrow!

  57. Hello on a gorgeous, spring day in TENNESSEE. Wow---after the long and bitter winter we had this year, Spring is even more inviting and lovely.

    Loved visiting one of your areas of our country.. Hope you get to visit Rose River Falls sometime...

    Great photos --especially of the skies. We saw some marvelous skies there too.

    We are now home 'again' --after our 5th trip since the end of February.... Seems as if we visited five different states --although the trips weren't planned for that reason... ha... BUT--as I always say, it's great to be home... I did publish a blog post today--so check it out when you have time. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  70. Yes, Easter is approaching steadily and then we sit back relax together :-)
    Indeed, I saw that TexWisGirl has a blog with fences and so you're doing it for the first time today. Beautiful fence in your first picture, but otherwise you photos are beautiful. The photo of the finches is super but you pictures of the sky are even great!
