Debbie – i like the contrast between the barrier and the lacy fabric hanging in the window, nice capture! One of my photos here shows a Great Blue Heron with a chain link fence barrier: https://babsjeheron.wordpress.com/2023/10/08/beautiful-great-blue-herons-on-display-500th-blog-post/

Here’s my offering – much more obvious with your tantalising curtains, which I realise my comment seems rather rude about: Actually, as obsessions go, it’s quite an interesting one!

I developed a bit of a lace curtain fascination while I was in Provence.

So much to see in one photo Debbie. The curtain netting off-set against the bird wire netting with the green watering can highlight. Love it 😍

Thanks Brian, glad you get so much out of it. I liked the levels of barrier at one little window. And wondered if any of it worked.
