Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).
Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing
The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.
Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.
Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.
Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.
Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."
After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.
During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.
Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.
I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.

Second in my landscapes from the archives. This shot of a mix of rock spires, golden aspens, still green aspens and conifers was taken 12 years ago in the West Elk Wilderness near Stormy Pass in Colorado.

This young deer was stomping the front hoofs upset at something in a distance. Initially I thought he (I think it was a he, although no antlers) didn't like the noise. There is always work happening in the park.
But... see the video next 📹
The Chequers used to be a pub and goes back to Elizabethan times. It is dilapidated now and dangerously close to the River Ver flowing around it, and to a major trunk road, the A 5183 connecting the motorway with Dunstable. However, it is a listed building with some heritage and therefore protected by law. Any owner would not be allowed to change its substance and layout and, if "modernised", all changes would have to be in keeping with tradition. This is a major challenge, and for the last decade, nobody has come forward to accept this challenge. So, decay and dilapidation do continue, together with the protection. Fuji X-Pro3, 35/1.4 lens.
It hasn't snowed here in such a long time, yesterday was a beautiful surprise. (for the "12 Months For Dogs" group). Brady wasn't quite sure what to make of it...
I want to thank you all for your comments and emails about Riley. It's been a tough time here, but your thoughtful words mean more than you can imagine. I will be around to visit soon, but in the meantime, please know how appreciative I am of your compassion and kindness.

Ponts Couverts in the la Petite France district of Strasbourg, France.
They are a set of three bridges and four towers that make up a defensive work erected in the 13th century on the River Ill. The three bridges cross the four river channels of the River Ill that flow through Strasbourg's historic Petite France quarter.
Construction commenced in 1230, and they were opened in 1250. As a defensive mechanism, they were superseded by the Barrage Vauban, just upstream, in 1690, but remained in use as bridges. As built, each of the bridges was covered by a wooden roof that served to protect the defenders who would have been stationed on them in time of war. These roofs were removed in 1784, but name Ponts Couverts (covered bridges) has remained in common use ever since.

Our yard is thick with hummingbirds right now. Certain times of the day are like Grand Central Station. Lot's a jockeying for position and aerial battles. Sometimes it even comes to fisticuffs as you hear physical contact being made. I came so close to getting clobbered yesterday as one male let it be known that I was not welcome in my own back yard. It is super entertaining to watch these guys. This is a male Anna's hummingbird.
If we don't act soon, there will not be a planet for the future. We are slowly destroying nature!
When we realize we can make a buck cleaning up the environment, it will be done!

It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

Coastal South Carolina. When we were planning our trip to coastal Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina our hopes were high for some great birding. It was not to be however. Numbers were way lower than we expected and we had challenging weather for several days. Such is the plight of nature and wildlife photographers. Can't win 'em all.
