Shopping the day after Thanksgiving would be torture for me. Instead my family opted to explore and hike.

This pinkish, purplish rose is so heavy that it droops over.

I noticed the unfolding petals in the centre of this apricot rose looks like the shutters of a camera aperture.

Believe it or not...there is a fence in there. All those flowers and vines are growing near/on a chain link fence.
This was at the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, MA. What a beautiful area. It's an old bridge that they covered in a stunning flower garden and made into a walking path. No longer used for vehicles.

Variegated Rose taken at the International Rose Garden, Adelaide Botanical Garden during my last visit to Adelaide.
I was surprised how this image turned out. It was just past noon and it was very bright with the overhead sun.
I used a plastic shower cap ( my improvised filter ) which fit nicely into my open palm in one hand to block the sunlight and I took the picture with the other hand.

The Title:
This photo was taken on the 13th of October 2017. Coincidentally, it was a Friday hence the title! (Not the famous film series)
Across the meadow to Hogwarts.
Alnwick Castle, home of the Duke of Northumberland. This famous castle has been used for various locations by film and tv companies but is mostly famous for being Hogwarts, the school attended by Harry Potter.
The River Aln meanders through the estate and it's a lovely peaceful walk across the meadow towards to castle.
Happy Fence Friday - HFF :))

"Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve."
(Naomi Klein)
I've noticed, that every time I drop a blueberry or a grape on the kitchen floor, it rolls under the refrigerator or the stove. So, since it happens every time, I decided it must be one of those universal rules that aren't written down, but we all know they exist. Maybe, some one should be writing them down. That way we'll have a list and when something happens we can just say, "Oh, that's a rule, don't you know."
..HFF!!
..lol..You had to know I took more than one drive by fence shot..;).However, I think this is the last one I'll post. They others don't do as much for me. This one didn't either until I ran it through Topaz Studio.

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas..:)) Christmas light shows are everywhere this time of year.
The cold weather has hit this place. We don't get show, just the cold and windy at times.
This isn't that great of an image. I took it with my phone. This is what I saw when I pulled into my work Tuesday. It's deer hunting season around here so the deer are staying close to buildings..;)
One of the few remaining unscathed roses during the recent heat wave. Many had signs of heat and wind burns.
Taken at the rose garden, Queen Victoria Gardens.

I couldn't decide if I should save this one for "Bench Monday" or use it "Fence Friday". This is from the Gruene historical district. Such a pretty area. Looking at this image makes me want to go back and visit it
This is The Capital Grill on 4th street in Austin. It use to be the Spaghetti Warehouse. Guess people got tired of Spaghetti..;:) I'll tell you one thing for sure. Steak and Lobster cost a lot more than Spaghetti..;) Like, $53. Yikes! I didn't go in. I was just downtown killing some time. I have to back to Austin Friday for an eye exam. I hate those because it's almost impossible to drive for about an hour.
