There arent many clues left of the big house that once sat upon this ground on old State Route 21, now 821, outside Marietta Ohio. A slip forced its abandonment and ultimate tearing down. My father built the (house and) split rail fence that skirted the driveway and most of these locust posts are still there. We lived in the house for 7 years before moving to town. Two other families lived here before the hill came down.

Turning onto the path this week, it took a few moments of looking at the fence posts to figure out what we were seeing. Turkey vultures were perched on each post (with another one out of view on the right, and another in a tree overhead) A farm truck driving up the pathway startled them, and most flew off before we got closer. Two stayed where they were and we were able to get a good look at them. I've never seen one up close and their feathers are amazing. I'm having problems with my camera again, there is a fuzzy quality to everything I take, but I'll post a close up.

Fencepost at the end of our road. Snow is a given every winter, the cold this year is not what we're used to.
Giraffes have a long prehensile tongue they use for stripping leaves from branches - or just snacking on fenceposts.
#SafetyFence - When installing a metal fence post, you must first dig a hole to fit. This is most easily done using a post hole digger, which looks like a large triangle with two rounded blade ends on each side. Idea is to drive in dirt, hold both excavators together and remove dirt. Be very careful when doing...
These frost covered fence posts were taken near the Atlantic Road in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
This old fencepost is wired to keep the cattle in. Most of the time it works. Determining if it's on or not requires a touch, and I tend to shy away from that kind of excitement. So I don't know if it was live, but it was interesting to me. The ceramic insulators are meant to allow the fence to be stretched without worrying about getting bitten by it. The wire, holding the fence to the post, is insulated from the fence itself, so there's no danger (in theory, anyway) of finding out the hard way if the fence is hot or not.
