The fenceposts around this community garden are very special because the unpainted wood blends in with the natural environment ( not always the case with community art projects!!) The artists who ran the project stipulated that the contributors, children and adults, should use no paints but just carving and woodburning in the decoration of these posts. These are some of my favorite posts - in a collage, otherwise I would have too many fencepost photos. More faves to come.

Came across this hawk fence-post sitting near Windsor.

I drive by the old Nevada City cemetery every day I leave the house, but this is only the second time I've stopped here in 6 years.

Nobody has had this view of the yard in half a century. replacing the 50-odd year old decaying woodwork

On a fencepost on a threatened site in Strathspey, Scotland.

I enjoy this picture that I took because it is unique. I tried to change up the focus on the camera many people would have focused on the sun that was rising in the back ground but I thought it would be neat to focus on the top of the fence post so I did. I like to thing out of the box and try to see things differently then everyone else to hopefully get a different prospective on life. In order to take this picture I had to hold my phone upside down and hit the focus on the wood post which I feel was pretty creative unlike me. I enjoy still being able to see the sun rising in the background even though it is not what is focused on. This picture should get everyone thinking outside of the box.

One of the farmers has been digging drainage ditches and putting up a new fence on his land by the old railway path.

Garden Grub 66/120

We got our first orange pumpkin off the vine today, and it looks magnificent on the fencepost, framed by some of the dried broomcorn. Fall is almost here!

(Grub-wise, it was just a standard, unimaginative pasta night, with plain-old tomato sauce. Using last year's tomatoes. Heh. The pumpkin was definitely the garden story of the day.)

Provincial Catalonia fencepost

Song birds are one of natures way to get us to stop listen and pay attention to what were have been blessed with. It is this bird that looks at me an appreciates mankind for a place to rest.

"After" replacing the 50-odd year old decaying woodwork

Part of a "100 Paces" photo exercise, this image was captured at a dog park near Deep Ellum, Dallas. Surprisingly, when exposing for the light part of this fence post topper, the background turned out almost completely black. I shot the image in portrait orientation but I find landscape in this case is easier on the eyes.

I'm not a bird watcher so I'm not sure if it's an Eagle or a Hawk. If anyone knows for sure I'd be grateful. via 500px bit.ly/1exMHdu

Presumably these once supported a fence to protect the dunes, they seem pretty useless now.
