Good Fences - September 25, 2014

Welcome.  -  It's GOOD FENCES day.  Yep, it's time to join Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) for her super fun meme,  Good Fences.

CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTOS


Last week I featured some Chinese Lantern plants around a deep red colored fence.  While out on that same walk I found this vining over another section of red fencing and thought it looked pretty neat.


Further on the walk I decided to stop by the old unoccupied house that is basically over grown with all kinds of plants, weeds etc...and I shot some pictures of a little fence/gate area there.





I think this is a charming gate and just wish someone would buy this property and fix the place up as it's a real "eye-sore" in the state it's in.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out all the other great fences by stopping by Theresa's blog and clicking on the other particpants entries.  -  Have a great day!

    I really like this customized old fence, some one took a lot of time to create it.

    It is a charming gate. Love how you photographed it from so many angles. I felt like I was almost there...like the vine on the fence. Very nice entry today!

    I do like the red fence with the leaves around it. The old gate is very interesting. I wonder why some places stay vacant for a long time and then again just why are they vacant. Hmmmmmm. MB

    That is a cute gate in the fence, rather rustic. The ivy over the fence is really pretty.

    The hinge (not sure what to call it) in the 3rd photo looks like it has a little face :) I enjoyed all your photos. I do hope someone buys the home. It looks like it is just waiting to become a home again.

    I do like a red fence specially with leaves entwining it.
    Interesting gate. I sometimes wonder why houses stay empty for so long and then again why is it empty in the first place? MB
