A beautiful fall day in Texas

One of my favorite things in the spring and fall is to burn all the brush and stuff collected, drink some beer, and take some pictures. This is burn #1 for fall 2010...

This is one end of a rope used as a path guide-rope.

Opening month crowds so large folks have to "stage," to get to the drive in parking slots. Hey, it's a hamburger folks.

Mexican Fencepost Planted

We planted this 22 inch tall Mexican Fencepost cactus (Pachycereus marginatus) in our Scottsdale yard desert garden.

Rather attractive to me lol

Very interesting concentric ridge pattern and moss.

There were two beautiful little wood swallows that just flew ahead of me and either landed on the fence post or wire and played on the ground. It took me about 20 minutes to get this one....and then, I only just got it.

Believed to be a Western Wood-pewee along the Matsqui Trail, Abbotsford, B.C.

A weekend at Boomerang Beach with "The Gang"

Happy weekend everyone!

Christy came to help!

These are candlesticks or candle holders made by me from recycled fence posts.

The corner fencepost of an abandoned corral in Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. I was actually more interested in the great clouds we had today.

January 2006, Sydenham, ON. I've taken some criticism from friends on the composition of this one ("Shouldn't the truck be more centered?"), but I like it.

Thanks to Alan for possible id and to Art.. On a threatened site in Strathspey, Scotland.

Old Fence at Glenorie

Mountain Cedar (proper name - Ashe Juniper) is used throughout the southwest as fence post material because the resins preserve the wood for decades. Cedars are an environment problem now due to the lack of natural range fires which historically controlled their growth and their thirst for water. Cedars have overtaken pastures and made springs and seeps go dry with their continual spread. Historically this shrub was confined to rocky hillsides and canyons but now range throughout central and north Texas, as well as, southern Oklahoma.

Our neighbor's fence; it reminds me of the beach somewhere.

Snow fell last night, only a few inches, but still fun to go out in the sunshine this morning and snap a few shots. This reminds me of the cell phone commercial on TV (AT&T?) with the increasing bars in the background of every shot.
