GOOD FENCES
So last week I was telling Coleen that we needed to find some more new fences to share and she started telling me about a fence she had spotted that had cave people or monkeys on it. Which do you think it was? (Hint, it's in the title of the blog post).
Anyway I decided to see if she could remember where the fence was so we went for a little drive and sure enough she directed me right to it.
It was pretty sunny outside so this first shot isn't the greatest but it shows off all of the fence so without further ado I present.....
Monkey See, Monkey Do!
This is a fun way to dress up a chain link fence for sure. These monkeys are metal and seem to be having a great time. Let's take a look at them a little bit closer.
I'm not exactly sure why the one monkey on the gate has a chain on it other then it seems to be chained to the fencing itself but none of the others were so I have no clue why they chain this fellow up. Maybe he tried to escape!
I love the one on the swing eating the banana. Aren't they fun!
Here's our little chained monkey up a bit closer.
He seems like a friendly chap.
Does this swinging monkey remind you of Cheetah from the Tarzan movies? I just found an article from 2011 (I know I'm behind the times) which said the Chimp from the Tarzan movies lived to be 80 years old!
These two female monkeys (notice the hair bows) seem to be doing some kind of a dance or else the one on the right has fleas!
Finally....
The fuzzy one on the left appears to be giving directions but the girl on the right (again the hair bow gives her away) seems to be a bit confused.
Maybe she's wondering if hanging around on a fence is more fun then a barrel of monkeys!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were people in the driveway talking while I was taking pictures, I felt a bit nervous that they were going to wonder what on earth I was doing with a camera pointed at their house. At any rate I snapped away and they didn't seem to care.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing this fun chain link fence all decked out with monkeys. Coleen gets full credit for helping me find this one.
Come back next week to see the other fence we discovered right across the road from this place. It's a fun one too.
This is awesome.
ReplyDeletekudos to coleen for finding and remembering it! it is unique! it would be cute for a day care fencing, i think.
ReplyDeletei'm having trouble keeping up with life and blogging too. :)
Definitely original and so much fun! They clearly love chimps and monkey business! Well done Coleen for finding it!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your drives to search for more!
I'm always delighted at human creativity!
ReplyDeleteHello Ida, what a great find, thanks to Coleen! I love the cute monkeys! A fun way to decorate their fence. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeletewell, this is definitely a very different fence! Super interesting! When you look close, looks like someone took great time in cutting them out of metal.
ReplyDeleteA great fence find!

Oh how fun is that!
ReplyDeletethey made me smile all the way through each photo. someone is a talented artist.. and how smart Coleen is to remember and take you there. great fence post, so different
ReplyDeleteNow isn't that a fun fence.
ReplyDeleteooo, gosh, those are the cutest things ever...i LOVE them...so fun.
ReplyDeletexoxo
meant to add that your photos of the monkeys make me want to go to a zoo....LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, Ida! Some people have such fun!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun!!!! What imagination, and whimsical....I'm truly lovin' this.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the best fences I have seen. So much fun! I have a friend who has this crazy fear of monkeys...she would be terrified.
ReplyDeleteLove the imagination here, yours and theirs. I think this is the neatest fence I've ever seen or maybe I'm so tired of barbed wire out here in south Texas. Looking forward to next week to see what their neighbors came up with.
ReplyDeleteHi Ida now I have seen everything.
ReplyDeleteYou do fine unique fences.
I enjoy them.
Thank you for your comments to me.
My son was okay and family thank the Lord but a mess of fences to fix.
Definitely interesting...the chains are a bit creepy though.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you- I wonder why?
Have a great evening!
What a fun and interesting post. Your title very appropriate.
ReplyDeleteHi Ida.....Hey, it sure looks like you have been monkeying around! The little fellas are quite charming!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you friend..
shug
LOL! Nice! Chain link is normally not that interesting in itself, but these monkeys are cool!
ReplyDeleteNow this really is a one of a kind fence. Wonder what it is really fencing in besides those cute artsy monkeys.
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical!! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, now, that is definitely something you don't run into very often.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Never seen a fence with monkeys before!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!!!! I think Coleen needs a camera and her own blog! I think she has a future. Sounds like she done notices things.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun and whimsical fence. Chain link is usually so boring, what a way to give it some pizzaz.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's a first. Very unique find.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute fence! They probably get people taking photos of it a lot since it's so unusual and fun!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteHa ha these are so cute. :)
ReplyDeleteWild! It's good you have fence scouts to help you!
ReplyDelete;-)
I think the monkey fence is cute:) Have a delightful weekend!
ReplyDeleteUm, I forgot if I clicked on the wordpress sign, so here it is again - I like the cute monkey fance! Have a delightful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful decorations.

ReplyDeleteThis is quite fun post on fence and metal monkeys! I enjoyed the detail you got in photos... Love the monkey at swing and the chained to be naughty so got tied up. Lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Coleen for driving you there... for us to get some entertainment looking at the monkeys :)
HI Ida! So Cute! lovely fun monkeys...very whimsical and sweet! Thanks for sharing them
ReplyDeletewhat a fun way to decorate a boring chain link fence. i am on the lookout, for a few colorful decorations for my new fence!!!
ReplyDeleteThe monkey fence is unique and a fence I found very interesting. You did a fabulous job of presenting this unusual "find."
ReplyDeleteI think the folk understood why you pointed your camera :) It is inviting to do so. I for one, loved to see it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a creative way to decorate a chain link fence!
ReplyDeleteA very creative idea to dress up the fence with metal monkeys. I too will be taking pictures if I see one like this.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if those people are used to others stopping by to take pictures. Those cute monkey shapes are just begging for attention :) great shots Ida!
ReplyDeleteWhat a boring fence that would be without the monkeys! I love that people think to dress up something so ordinary. Good eye, Coleen!
ReplyDeleteThese are some happy, jolly monkeys on a fence.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I couldn't see any tails and I thought may be they were silverbacks, but then I looked closely to notice a good looking tail.
Very nice find!
Never seen anything like this.
Have a Great Weekend, Ida!
Peace :)
Blessings....
ReplyDeleteCute...
that person got a sense of humor.
have a grand and love filled week.

That is a fun and interesting fence! It is strange though--I saw the hairbows as horns...but your view is a much more pleasant (And probably the correct) interpretation.
ReplyDeletewhat a clever idea with the monkeys. That's one fun fence
ReplyDeletetotally unique .. never seen such a thing in someones yard..
ReplyDeleteHugs
what a cute fence! phyllis
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this fence! What a wonderful find.
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving catching up on your blog!
What a great fence. It's always good to know that some folk have a sense of humour. All the best, Bonny
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable, except for the one chained....great fine for "Good Fences"
ReplyDeleteHa! Good find! I guess if you have to put up a chain link fence, you may as well decorate it!
ReplyDeleteVery unique! Haven't seen anything like that before.
