Something fishy

One of my favorite touches in the porch are the wall hangings of a trout and a salmon I found at an antiques store in town. I like they way they look on the weathered cedar shingles and make this 'room' more homey and living room-like. The are made of a cast metal, I think they're aluminum, and they have quite the heft. Since they're outside year round in the extreme fluctuations of Long Island weather, over the years the paint began to chip badly. I decided a while back to repaint them, I merely copied the paint scheme that was already there, just freshened it up a bit with brighter craft paints. I think they look pretty good.
