FRIDAY FENCE POST #79--Child's Eye View

I'm two weeks past due for a Friday Fence Post. I do apologize for being away so long. I got kind of distracted with the DH's illness, and to tell the truth, kind of misplaced the big WHY of blogging, a bit of lame on my part.

But I'm here, with some cool fences, and even cooler, several of the shots were taken by my 7-year-old granddaughter, Meggie. She has a real eye, that one, and her own thoughts about framing. I was told, in no uncertain terms, that she did not want me rotating any of her pictures, that she had taken them the way she wanted them to be seen.

So now, here are some of the fences we shot on our walk today, hers interspersed with mine. I'll tell you which were hers at the end. I think it will not necessarily be obvious.

The fences are: Meg's, mine, mine, hers, hers, hers, mine, mine. Did you get them all right?

A word on the last two, also. The next to the last, if you look closely, especially at the right side of the sidewalk, is the shadow of a picket fence. The last is chain link, reflected in rain water on some corrugated sheeting.

Click on any photo to see it large.

Your turn! Has spring brought out the fences in your area? Post them on your blog, and drop the link here so I can come see them! And be sure to leave a comment. I love them anyway, but comments in my inbox let me know something's going on over here!

FRIDAY FENCE POST #75

Here we go again! A new Friday, and a new fence! Someday I will learn this: Never leave home without the camera. This fence was alongside the parking lot of a thrift store here in town. I hadn't intended to stop, but I knew I had a tail light out and didn't want the cop in the lane next to me to notice it, so I swung in. Isn't that awful? But then there was this fence...which I had to come back to the next day, because I didn't have the camera. Tch tch.

 Click on them to get the full effect!

Your turn? Anybody else have a fence this week? Drop the link to your photo(s) in Mr Linky so I can come see it!

FRIDAY FENCE POST #74

Didn't know if there'd be a Friday Fence Post this week, since I was down with a bug for most of it, but today dawned bright, and the only cold was outside. Mine was (mostly) gone. Out I went, with the camera in the front seat of the car, to do the grocery shopping and see what I could find.

Once again, a fence I must surely have seen many times grabbed my attention:

 

The last two I used filters and other adjustments on. In fact, if you went out and found that fence, you'd see that the ivy is actually green right now. But isn't it lovely in shades of brown, rust, and purple? Pure happy accident, just playing with the "Adjust Hue" window.

Anyone out there spotted a good fence this week? Let's see it!

I know it isn't spring. C'mon. It snowed yesterday! It's supposed to be in the twenties tonight, and may snow over the weekend. But there are flowers. I smile just to think it. There are flowers.

Click on any of the fences to see them full-size. If you do that, you'll see I've played with the filters on several. I Do love those Photoshop filters!

Your turn! I want to see some fences from other places, found by other eyes! Post yours, and drop your link in Mr Linky here, and I'll come visit. (I have a feeling I won't be the only visitor you get, either!)


In other news, if you're in the Portland area, this weekend is the Yard, Garden, and Patio Show at the Convention Center. My booth is #128, against the back wall, straight back from the entrance. It's a wonderful show, and will have you itching to go out and get gardening, all the while giving you great ideas and showing you new plants. (I spotted a couple I'll HAVE to have while I was putting the finishing touches on my booth today.)

And I'd love to see my friends there, especially some of those I haven't met in person yet!

FRIDAY FENCE POST #70

Isn't it funny how you drive by something day after day after day, and never notice it? Okay, so I'd seen this fence a bazillion times, several of them within the last week or so. How long has the coat hanger been there?

I love this! Do you see the dog? (It's cool when you click on it, too.)

Time for a Friday Fence Post! I found some great fences this week--had a hard time whittling down the ones I'd share today, but forced myself to limit it to five or six images, lol.

Join us! It's easy--find a fence you think is interesting, and take a picture of it. Then create your post, and drop the perma-link to it in Mr Linky, at the bottom of this post. Be sure and grab my button (left side bar) for your own blog, so others can join in the fun, too, and please leave a comment here. It absolutely makes my day when people let me know they've visited, and makes my week to see fences from other people! I will visit every poster, and let you know I've been to your blog. =oD

Here are my fences for this week:

I loved the muted, watercolor feel of this.

Okay, so this is mostly gate, but...wow.

It is NECESSARY to play with my photos!

Wouldn't you play, too?

Almost ethereal.

Your turn! Seen any good fences lately?

FRIDAY FENCE POST #66

Seen any good fences lately? Post them in your blog, and the drop the link into Mr Linky below! I'd love to come see them! And please grab my button from the left sidebar and put it somewhere in your blog or blog post, to spread the word--the more the merrier, yes?

These two fences I spotted a couple of weeks ago, when I got lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Did I have my camera with me? Oh, nO0ooo, of course not! But I made a point of coming back, which would've been a Lot easier if I'd just written down an actual location. Wandering up and down and around streets looking for all the world like I'd completely lost my sense of direction and was trying to find Planet Earth by following the bread crumbs made a Whole lot more sense, lol. I did find them again, though, and didn't even run out of gas doing it.

The first time I saw this, the family was outside--Mom, Dad, and two little ones. I'm guessing we know who painted the fence, and I love the thought of the parental units allowing their children this spontaneous burst of colorful creativity:


This was part of another fence. What struck me was the way a wrought iron section seems to be sandwiched between the boards. (By the way, I used a filter on this one. Click on it to see what that did.)


And this last photo isn't of a fence at all, but i had to shoot it. From the driver's seat, while stopped for a traffic light. I just liked all the meandering curves and lines, which I accentuated with those fabulous filters:


Your turn! Show me your fences! (I have an show/sale all day today, but I'll be looking forward to evening, and the pictures from you!)
