Covered Bridges
View allAll Photos Tagged Cover
What a gorgeous drive to my son's house yesterday. Everything was covered in fresh white snow. I couldn't believe that it stayed on the trees all day long and if we hadn't been babysitting it would have been an awesome day to get out for more photos. This is a walking trail that crosses the main road. I am not sure why there were car tracks on it and I hope someone plows it to make it more "walkable".
Taken locally on our walks!
Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita
The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.
It is a migratory passerine which winters in southern and western Europe, southern Asia and north Africa. Greenish-brown above and off-white below, it is named onomatopoeically for its simple chiff-chaff song. It has a number of subspecies, some of which are now treated as full species.
This warbler gets its name from its simple distinctive song, a repetitive cheerful chiff-chaff. This song is one of the first avian signs that spring has returned. Its call is a hweet, less disyllabic than the hooeet of the willow warbler or hu-it of the western Bonelli's warbler.
The common chiffchaff breeds across Europe and Asia east to eastern Siberia and north to about 70°N, with isolated populations in northwest Africa, northern and western Turkey and northwestern Iran. It is migratory, but it is one of the first passerine birds to return to its breeding areas in the spring and among the last to leave in late autumn. When breeding, it is a bird of open woodlands with some taller trees and ground cover for nesting purposes. These trees are typically at least 5 metres (16 ft) high, with undergrowth that is an open, poor to medium mix of grasses, bracken, nettles or similar plants. Its breeding habitat is quite specific, and even near relatives do not share it; for example, the willow warbler (P. trochilus) prefers younger trees, while the wood warbler (P. sibilatrix) prefers less undergrowth. In winter, the common chiffchaff uses a wider range of habitats including scrub, and is not so dependent on trees. It is often found near water, unlike the willow warbler which tolerates drier habitats. There is an increasing tendency to winter in western Europe well north of the traditional areas, especially in coastal southern England and the mild urban microclimate of London. These overwintering common chiffchaffs include some visitors of the eastern subspecies abietinus and tristis, so they are certainly not all birds which have bred locally, although some undoubtedly are.
Population:
UK breeding:
1,200,000 territories
UK wintering:
500-1,000 birds
This was taken last summer in Connecticut. Didn't post it at the time because the graffiti bugged me, and my attempts at removing it in Photoshop were less than stellar. However, since then, I have decided it's not so bad for the photo after all.
Thanks for taking time to comment, always highly appreciated. have a very fine evening and upcoming weekend, dear flickr friends 🌞
This bridge was originally located northwest of Marshall, Indiana. It was relocated to Billie Creek Village in 1979. Unlike most of the covered bridges in Parke County, this bridge is named after the Beeson family who lived nearby (most are named after the the town they are located in or the river they cross.). This bridge also survived two different arson attempts in 1979 before it was relocated.
Also note this bridge does not have the famous words "Cross this bridge at a walk" as most other covered bridges in Parke County. This is most likely due to it being located on private property and not passable by vehicular traffic.

In Woodstock, VT. Cars can drive across this bridge so I was a little worried about standing in the middle of the road taking this. A photographer has to do what they have to do. Happy Saturday to you all!!
During one of my watercolor classes, the instructor gave each student the same image to capture. It took much thought and planning to figure out how to reproduce the same scene.

Built in 1826, a 189 foot long timber-framed covered bridge crosses the Ottauquechee River in the Taftsville village of Woodstock, Vermont . It is probably one of the most photograph covered bridges in the state.
Thank you so much, Eva, for the group cover at Everyone SL. :)

Imagine walking down a street and finding a tree covered in red and blue stars. This was the final transition of white flowers changing into blue fruits...and the pink calyx now a red star. Thank you, Peanut Butter tree!

We are back home. We decided to cut short our stay in Fredericksburg. I feel like we needed to be home until this virus is over. Be safe everyone.
