Good Fences #79 - Sunflower Delight


 

Welcome! - It's time for GOOD FENCES hosted by Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report).

While out on a walk one morning I spotted these lovely sunflowers and the weathered fence they were growing near & through.  I just had to get pictures for Good Fences to share.  I hope you enjoy them.



 I'm not sure what they had growing by the shed that required those strings you see but who cares when you have pretty sunflowers to look at.

 I love that one growing through the fence. - I thought I'd show a crop of it from the other direction.




Finally a view looking up at the sunflowers over the fence.

Don't forget to check out the other great fences by visiting Theresa's blog.

Have a "sunny sunflower" day.

    they are beautiful, daddy used string like that for climbing beans, for holding up tomato plants, these strings might be holding up the tall sunflower stalks.

    Oh how I love sunflowers! And love to shoot sunflowers too! These captures are lovely. Seems like the ones I find growing in the wild are in places I can't access well. And thank you for stopping by and leaving a nice comment on my post about Tanner. xo

    I was hoping you would tell us what those strings were for. Oh well, I'll just have to remain curious and enjoy those very pretty sunflowers.

    I love these sunflower photos! My husband used to put in a sunflower garden exactly like that. We have a six foot cedar fence. They would tower over it! The finches loved the seeds!

    These are fine fence pictures, but made more interesting with the addition of the sunflowers for both sides. A very successful series.

    You have a good eye to catch the flowers and the texture of the fence. Maybe climbing pole beans, but is it getting too late for them?

    LOVE it - and I am so happy that you got a sunflower picture. I had drove out to a place that I knew had a giant sunflower field with this wood fence around it, hoping for a pic for Good Fences... but by the time I had the chance to drive all that way, the flowers had pretty much died and were being tilled :(
    but it was amazing to see that huge field full of sunny faced Sunflowers. I wish I had gone earlier

    Sunflowers are so happy. I'm always amazed at how they hold their heads up on those little stalks. I wondered about those strings too. Lots of flowers need strings like that, but maybe some string beans?? :)
