Good Fences #52

Click Good Fences #52 to see all the wonderful fences.

This week I am sharing some fences from our trip to the Northeast USA ten years ago.  These were taken in Lancaster County, such a beautiful farming area.  Hope you enjoy.  Have a great weekend.  Will see you all in a couple of weeks with more fences.  Heading out west for a little vacation and family gathering.  Blessings to all.

Wild Bird Wednesday 139 –

The last of the birds from our December visit to South Padre.  Glad we are not there this week as spring breaks are in full swing.  That would be way too much traffic for us two seasoned individuals!

Good Fences #51

It is the time of year for the Natchez Spring Pilgrimage Tours.  I wanted to share a few of the wonderful fences surrounding both mansions and more common homes from bygone days.

The Thursday Challenge for March 12, 2015 is “STREET” (Happy, Sad, Interesting, Typical Urban Scenes or Rural Roads,…).  I think the Natchez streets will work quite nicely as we enjoy the fences, too.  Please, make sure to visit the other contributors at these to sights!  You will feel as if you are on spring break, too.

Still Life

“STILL LIFE” (Food, Flowers, Rocks, Shells, Vases, Books, Jewelry,…)
roseThursday Challenge is a place for photographic fun and learning. A theme is announced on this site each week. You may either take a new photograph related in some way to the theme or select one that you have taken previously.
Mine are previously shot photos cause I do not like getting in the cold wind to take photos of winter dead things : )  We in the Northern hemisphere are ready for some sun and color!
I will be submitting to Skywatch Friday, Saturday Critters, Macro Monday II, and I Heart Macro.  Please, take a few minutes to visit the meme sites for wonderful photos.  You’ll be glad you did.

Good Fences # 50 and TBT

Ran across this photo as I was working on the scan project.  Thought it was a fun Texas fence from the early 1950’s.  This little riding area was next to Wallace Vaughn’s “filling station” north of McKinney, TX, on US 75, that’s Hwy. 5 these days.  I am riding barefoot in a dress ’cause that’s how it was done way back when I was a kid.  Granny lived across the highway from this place and these were my friends when I visited Granny.  It is, also, the store she sent me to buy her Garrett’s white label snuff.  Good times!

To see some wonderful fences make sure you click here to visit The Run “A” Round Ranch’s ‘Good Fences’ every Thursday.
