One more of our two cousins watching the gate of their safely enclosed garden.

The rain kept away for a change ..trudging over soggy moorland in search of a lone tree! Didn't find one but still good fun :-)
This guy flew right up to the window in his enclosure and posed nicely for me.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
There are two enclosures fenced with stones. The smaller one for the horses in the main roundup, and for the sheep found in the second and third roundups
Click to view large...you can see the "birdcage" (the screened enclosure that covers our lanai) and clouds in the sky reflected in the spider's eye.
When Guru went into the cat enclosure, Muse still couldn't bring himself to use the cat flap. So I opened the bedroom window to see if he would use that avenue. He watched for a long time before finally venturing out.
I know you probably can’t read the small red sign on this fence, but it says Accent Fence. Just what is this fence accenting? It looks like some kind of enclosure for trash or maybe a place to secure equipment. It doesn’t look like the gate can even be closed anymore. If you ask me (no one did, but since it is my picture I’ll comment anyway), there is nothing at all attractive that an accent fence could show off. There isn’t even a rose bush or colorful wildflowers, just weeds and vines.
Some of you may think it is just the name of the fence company that installed this fence. If so, they should remove the plaque because this fence is not doing the fence company any good by way of advertising IMO.
HFF my friends.
This is one of the sheltered spots in Willow's enclosure. I love the butterfly tree, the secret to keep it flowering is clipping off the browned flower heads.
John Griffin bought the site of what was to become Hough Mill from the Enclosure Commissioners in 1804.
Originally known as Thringstone mill, the mill was purchased by John Hough steward to George Beaumont of Coleorton for the sum of £1,175.
The mill ceased operation in early 20th century and fell into disrepair.
It is said that some of its ironwork was removed in 1940 for the war effort.
By the time Swannington Heritage Trust purchase the site in 1994 all that remained of the mill was a very badly weathered shell of its tower, rotting floor beams and rotting residue of the cap frame.
With the aid of Heritage Lottery Funding new floors, windows, cap and some "stone floor" machinery obtained from a derelict mill, works was completed, the mill reopened to the public in April 2000.
A Great achievement and lovely restored windmill.

when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

Then larger enclosure is for the sheep in the first roundup. Here they are kept during the night, before driven down from the mountains as the highland closer to the farmland have a roundup in the last day of rounduping
Luxor -Ramses III:s Tempel-Medinet Habu
The temple, some 150 m long, is of orthodox design, and resembles closely the nearby mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). The temple precinct measures approximately 700 ft (210 m). by 1,000 ft (300 m) and contains more than 75,350 sq ft (7,000 m2) of decorated wall reliefs.[1] Its walls are relatively well preserved and it is surrounded by a massive mudbrick enclosure, which may have been fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gate-house, known as a migdol (a common architectural feature of Asiatic fortresses of the time).
Just inside the enclosure, to the south, are chapels of Amenirdis I, Shepenupet II and Nitiqret, all of whom had the title of Divine Adoratrice of Amun.
The first pylon leads into an open courtyard, lined with colossal statues of Ramesses III as Osiris on one side, and uncarved columns on the other. The second pylon leads into a peristyle hall, again featuring columns in the shape of Ramesses. This leads up a ramp that leads (through a columned portico) to the third pylon and then into the large hypostyle hall (which has lost its roof). Reliefs and actual heads of foreign captives were also found placed within the temple perhaps in an attempt to symbolise the king's control over Syria and Nubia.
In Coptic times, there was a church inside the temple structure, which has since been removed. Some of the carvings in the main wall of the temple have been altered by coptic carvings.
A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof, decking, and siding, which in most covered bridges create an almost complete enclosure. The purpose of the covering is to protect the wooden structural members from the weather. Uncovered wooden bridges typically have a lifespan of only 20 years because of the effects of rain and sun, but a covered bridge can last over 100 years. In the United States, only about 1 in 10 survived the 20th century. The relatively small number of surviving bridges is due to deliberate replacement, neglect, and the high cost of restoration.
Surviving covered bridges often attract touristic attention due to their rarity, quaint appearance, and bucolic settings. Many are considered historic and have been the subject of historic preservation campaigns.
Typically, covered bridges are structures with longitudinal timber-trusses which form the bridge's backbone. Some were built as railway bridges, using very heavy timbers and doubled up lattice work.
In Canada and the U.S., numerous timber covered bridges were built in the late 1700s to the late 1800s, reminiscent of earlier designs in Germany and Switzerland. They tend to be in isolated places, making them vulnerable to vandalism and arson.
Not a Sunday Slide, the wacky colours are straight out of the camera. The LUT implementation in the S5ii makes it too easy to achieve garish results like this..

The man who appreciates the beauty of nature and the world is much richer and happier than those who do not notice this.
Thank you to everyone who stopped to watch, leave a comment, award, an invitation to the group! :))
Thanks to those who gave simply a smile or admiration and those who remained dissatisfied! :))
After emerging from the enclosures water pool, he shook so much that the clear plastic wall was coated in sheeting water.
The polar bear is a hypercarnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the largest extant bear species, as well as the largest extant land carnivore. Wikipedia

A lesson to be learned here, do not disturb a sleeping pig. When we arrived on the scene Miss Piggy here was resting in her ‘accommodation’, within seconds of seeing us she was up on her feet and trying to get out of the enclosure. She’d already detached the diagonal wooden post from the upright and by the time I took this photo the whole lot looked to be in danger of collapse, as she pushed and bit into the wood. Not wanting to be responsible for a very large Gloucester Old Spot running loose, we beat a hasty retreat.
Taken yesterday 1st February with lovely blue skies. Today the 2nd February we have 4 inches of snow. What a difference a day makes.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
