...not so much of a fence though. And that's the way we like it :)

It's not unusual to see plants growing out of the top of fenceposts on Skye. Grass is commonplace and near us there is a small tree starting to grow. I think these are rushes but I'm open to correction.

Sayornis nigricans

A pile of wood, probably fenceposts, at Goble & Son, where I buy my dried catfood. They seem to go in for farming and livestock hardware and feed.
On reflection, I think that this might be ex fenceposts, as the one at the bottom looks particularly weathered. The green comes from the treating the wood against termites, and a fresh one should be greener and more uniformly so. Those rusty marks, the fadedness of the green, and the degree of weathering all point to age and previous use.
Taken with iPhone 3GS.
Entry for Daily Shoot 467: "Make a photograph featuring strong horizontal lines today."
A shot from last night on one of the local farm roads - this fellow was very accomodating and allowed me to get out of the car (to get the light angle) and approach to almost minimum focussing distance. He (she?), then sat pretty for several minutes for me before moving on to another post...

I was here for a trail-building project. Story is on my blog
HFF !
While shooting a sunrise on Flagler Beach, I turned around and spotted a setting full moon (always remember to look over your shoulder!). It appeared to be sitting on a fencepost, so I took this shot. While processing, the subject seemed to lend itself to a more whimsical approach so I experimented liberally with saturation and contrast, and came up with this. Not something I usually do, and I'd love to know if you think it works.
This female Fencepost Jumper (Marpissa muscosa, schorsmarpissa in Dutch) caught a fly. Marpissa muscosa is a species of jumping spider.
Females reach about 8–11 mm length, males only 6–8 mm. Both sexes are coloured grey to brown. The whole spider has a furry appearance and is flattened in shape. They like vertical sunny surfaces like trees of fences (hence the name "fencepost jumper")
The species builds a kind of nest under the bark of dead trees. Up to 100 of these nests can occur side by side. This spider has a hierarchy: weaker animals will show their inferiority by strutting their front legs and slowly receding from the scene.
This was shot 1:1, only cut to 16:9.

De schorsmarpissa (Marpissa muscosa) is een in Nederland algemene spin, behorend tot de springspinnen die geregeld buiten kan worden aangetroffen. Het mannetje wordt 6 tot 8 mm groot, terwijl het vrouwtje de 8 tot 11 mm haalt. Ze houdt zich bij voorkeur op zonnige verticale vlakken zoals bomen of palen op, mits er een gaatje in de buurt is waar ze bij onraad snel kan wegkruipen. De prooi wordt beslopen en dan onverhoeds besprongen. Zoals alle springspinnen heeft de schorsmarpissa een buitengewoon goed ontwikkeld gezichtsvermogen. Van de acht spinnenogen zijn er twee, de voormiddenogen, veel groter dan de andere. De achterzijogen staan ver naar achteren, ze zijn op de afbeelding zichtbaar op de cephalothorax tussen de inplant van poot I en II. De schorsmarpissa is de typesoort van het geslacht Marpissa.
Geschoten op max. vergroting (1:1), enkel uitgesneden naar 16:9. Niet slecht voor iso2000 :)
Near Laurel, IA. Mamiya-Sekor 55mm f/1.4.
Not the best aperture choice (it was starting to rain, and I was rushing - so the bottom of the post is within the DOF, but not the top). But I love the bokeh. Shot wide open.
I had the opportunity to pass by two places where I have already made an image for my 365 this last week.
It is always interesting to see the same places in different light.
Compare this one from Day 7.
