A LADDER ON THE DECK – Marilyn Armstrong

By Marilyn Armstrong on 05/09/2019 • ( 15 )

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Chutes and Ladders

Someone left the ladder on our deck, probably whoever last looked at my chimney. This made taking the pictures today a lot easier than usual. Just a quick step onto the back deck, startling a few birds and scaring a squirrel back into the trees. You can tell it was a squirrel because the feeder is swinging wildly side to side.

Snap, snap, snap. Ladder shot!

  It all cleans up pretty well. When we moved into the house, we were both working, so we bought very good outside furniture and 19 years later, when I clean it up, it still looks like new!

I hope the chimney can easily be repaired!

  No. Just Owen forgot to put it away and it’s too big and clumsy for Garry and I, so it will stay there until Owen and someone else (it’ll take two people) to remove it.

That was very convenient except perhaps for the birds and squirrels who had their lunch interrupted but then it is always lunchtime for them.

  A lot of them seem to eat almost continuously. They don’t eat as much as the squirrels, but they are always nibbling.

  Nope. From the ladder, there is nothing but roof. All the hangers are on the other side along the rail.

Excellent pics, Marilyn, and what a great fit to the challenge! They work well in monochrome too. 🙂

  That ladder has been sitting on the deck for weeks. Finally, it had a purpose!

    Okay, I’ve been out there frequently, feeding the boids. Didn’t notice the ladder. Defense Exhibit A: Tunnel vision.
