A bit at a loss for words lately. As a placeholder, here are more fences and gates, in winter.
A short break in a series of recent snow storms leaving 2.5 feet of new snow on the ground. The birds have flown south for the winter. January 11, 2020.Because of snow, many gates are left open in winter. February 20, 2019.Sun shining through a cattle chute surrounded by fencing and gates. December 31, 2018.Barn and fences in fog, black and white. March 27, 2019.Watching. January 7, 2019.Fence line disappears into the fog, April 3, 2019.Last year’s Wolf Moon setting to the west as the rising sun in the east tossed highlights onto the distant mountains. The fence? My dog yard.

I delight in exploring the national forest near my Idaho home on foot, whether trail running, hiking, or xc skiing, with my two dogs by my side, taking photos of nature and wildlife. An author and freelance writer, I love observing and writing about the natural world, and dogs, and am a long-time contributing editor at Bark magazine. I used to practice law for a living. I much prefer the writing life.

You have a good eye. The lens likes where you direct it.
Thank you! I could always send you some of their winter undercoats when they blow their coats in the spring if you really want to bury your hands in it. Lots of fur to share and always more to replace it a few months later! There are people who will spin it into yarn, make gloves, hats, scarves… 😉
Beautiful photographs as always! I too have been at a loss of words lately. I haven’t written a single word of my novel in almost a month. I could let my excuse be that work has gotten in the way, but I think I am just being lazy. I have a three day holiday weekend and I’ve promised myself I am going to get to it! Taking a break for the NFL championship games of course. 🙂 Hope you and the doggos are doing well.
Thanks!
Go easy on yourself, Ari. Surgery/anesthetics bring on months of brain fog, in my experience, although they rarely if ever warn patients about it. Enjoy the game and weekend, maybe even write if the mood strikes!
Thank you. I have enjoyed the weekend so far and have got quite a bit of writing done. It’s a holiday for me today so I am going to throw myself back at it. Take care!
You have a knack for just the right capture. I love the one where the fence disappears into the fog. And that second one, reminds me of a scene in the movie Fargo. And that hole in the clouds is wild!

Beautiful photos. I especially like the disappearing fence line. We had a winter like that last year. I guess I’d hoped it would be a common thing. 😉

Lovely pics. And every time I see your wonderful 4 legged companions I just want to bury my hands in that gorgeous thick fur!
