This is post is really a twin to go with the other post
I did earlier today regarding Oxford Island so I hope you will have a look at what I
found with my bird class when we visited there at the end of March. Below are all the fences/walkways I photographed that day to fit in with the GOOD FENCES meme that Tex is hosting.
The area of water is Lough Neagh. It is a largest freshwater lake
in Northern Ireland, supplying forty percent of its water; the biggest on
the island of Ireland, the biggest by area in the United Kingdom, and the
biggest by area in the British Isles.
This is Oxford Island Discovery Centre.
This walkway/bridge above leads up to the Discovery centre.
Now I decided to put a link into this post in case anyone needed a laugh today. Last year I took a video of "The Singing Donkeys" at Oxford Island. They are not there now so enjoy. CLICK HERE
I hope you enjoyed seeing the fences that are around Oxford Island.

Dearest Margaret;
ReplyDeleteYou will be able to have very relaxing feeling there as well as the Discovery centre♡♡♡ I LOVE the greenish scenery!!!
OMG; your photos and video of donkeys made me laugh a lot and not good for my sore throat and runny nose p;)
PS> Thank you SO much for the name "Mallard". I clicked the picture page from the name and very happy to learn it. They are the ones we can always see in my city park now. I still miss swans A LOT we used to have which killed due to the bird flu.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Nice fences! What a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteThe first 5 were definitely the best, good fencing.
ReplyDeleteRe your question on my blog. We grew our grass (Dichondra) from seeds. It's very easy to manage and you don't have to mow it. Plus, it looks very pretty. I can recommend it.
ReplyDeleteI love the post and rope railings on the docks and the singing donkey is hilarious. In listening to your moderating the video I realized we sound so much alike when doing that. You paused exactly where I would have and your inflection and intonation are so similar to mine. LOL Oh how interesting!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these pictures very much! I sure would like to walk there. I absolutely love donkeys! I have a friend whose daughter is connected with a donkey rescue here in the states. They do wonderful things for these precious animals. (Longhopes Donkey Shelter) http://longhopes.org/
ReplyDeleteI love that first shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! And I love the perspective of your first photo!
ReplyDeleteI love the shadows and perspective in the top photo
ReplyDeleteWow that 1st shot is awesome. Great perspective. This sounds like a wonderful place to visit. It's a shame the Donkey's aren't there now. I wonder why? That video was funny. That was one "vocal" donkey!
ReplyDeleteJust been watching the video - great quality - shame they aren't there any more - perhaps they ate too much.
ReplyDeleteThats a great fence you have shown, great shadows.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great spot to get some wonderful photographs.

ReplyDeleteI love the rope shadows on the pier in the first picture. Picture five is my favorite though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day. The fences are perfect and so is the water, the sky, and all the rest!
ReplyDeleteLovely series of fence shots, a pretty place to visit. The views are beautiful! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteSuch sturdy fences and such a sturdy pier.
ReplyDeleteSuch sturdy fences and such a sturdy pier.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place.
ReplyDeletei love the rope fencing. looks lovely at the seas. i wonder why they don't do that in more locations? i guess it is not that sturdy or ideal for keeping animals out of the area. ( :
ReplyDeleteI like your fences very much. The Discovery Center is in a beautiful location.
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat-looking fence, Margaret. I really like the light and shadows in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all your lovely photos and got my smile listening to the donkey song.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the nautical theme fences.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great spot, pretty rope fence and what a great view!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to explore and learn; I know we would enjoy it very much! Lovely images for the Good Fences meme! I also enjoyed your Singing Donkeys video. It made me remember the mule that lived near us at one time. I always loved hearing it bray. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment.

Beautiful shots! The first one is amazing!
ReplyDeleteImagine all the time it took to knot the rope over and over again. My hands hurt just thinking about it. Neat place.
