It's time for GOOD FENCES hosted by Theresa from,
The Run-a-round Ranch Report.
Gosh it's seems like lately I'm only managing to post once a week (hope to remedy that soon) but it's always a pleasure to be able to participate in this fun meme.
Early last summer I happened to spot this fence and I took some pictures of it. Today you'll be seeing the fence and the burden it had to bear.
Apparently that bush/tree became too much for the fence to hold up and as you can see a section broke out. - This tree is called a Mountain Ash (Rowan)
Here is a close-up of the blooms (no fence in sight though)
I planned to get a picture of the fence once it was back up again but never did......until I decided to drive down this morning and take a picture to share.
It's raining here today so I braved the elements to bring you the following two shots.
Just for fun a shot of the entire fence going down the alley to show the comparison of the old stained part with the new stained part.
Hope you've enjoyed seeing this fence and what caused it's breakdown.
Don't forget to check out the other great fences by visiting Theresa's blog and clicking on the links. - It's great fun.
What a pity they couldn't keep the tree. It has such pretty berries & flowers. All the same the fence has been well repaired.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day!
I did enjoy this and it is a shame that beautiful bush is gone. i love flowering trees. and the berries are beautiful red or shriveled.
ReplyDeleteSad that such a beauty had to go. They could have simply trimmed it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tale of change here and a beautiful tree.
Hello, Pretty wood fence. It is a shame the tree came down! Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty trees around the fence!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for going out in the rain to get these photos. The bush was really pretty and sad that it had to go. You did a great job of taking the photos.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a mountain ash, Ida. But, if I had land and could dig a hole... I'd have me a mountain ash. One of the prettiest bushes I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteawwww, that's so sad that they felt they had to cut down the bush/tree. a great find and i enjoyed the close-ups!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat progression photos of the fence being damaged and restored!
ReplyDeleteMountain Ash Rowan . . . I love them, but I never knew the name!
ReplyDeleteHello Ida!:) Love your fence shots! The white flowers looked so pretty against the fence. It's a shame that the trees or bushes were removed, as all they needed was a good trimming.
ReplyDeleteThose Rowan trees looks a picture when they are full of berry, great fence too.
ReplyDeleteawww. i can see why they had to do it to keep the fence line repaired, but it sure was pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fence shots and such a 'beautiful burden' the fence had to endure ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fun weekend ~ ^_^

oh gosh, the tree was beautiful :(
ReplyDeleteit's a nice looking fence. Too bad they cut the tree down though. The blossoms are very pretty
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad they cut the entire tree down. Those are pretty orange berries. The fence does look good all repaired.
ReplyDeleteI guess the fence won. Too bad about the pretty bush!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely tree. Too bad they couldn't trim it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame, I hate to see a beautiful tree being cut down. Maybe they will plant something equally as beautiful in the future for you to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI really like the looks of this place....hate that they cut the tree down.
ReplyDeleteHi Ida, great fence shots and too bad the tree had to go. It sure was gorgeous leaning on the fence. Wishing you a great weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty fence and tree! It's sad they had to cut it down!
ReplyDeleteYou have an eye my dear... For points of interest that most people wouldn't notice. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I really like the color of the wooden fence.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you Ida and feel sad when I see a tree cut to the ground.
ReplyDeleteIts a shame they hadn't pruned it along the way.
Also they probably planted it too close to the fence.
Good fence shots Ida.

I miss the tree being there...so pretty. Shame they couldn't have just trimmed it up a bit. Love that fence, though. I would like that one here.
ReplyDeleteNice to see it put back together.

Too bad the beautiful tree had to be torn out....trimming only probably wouldn't have helped much.
ReplyDeleteGood series.
The fence is repaired, but I share your sadness about the removal of the pretty tree!
ReplyDeleteI agree with carol I mckenna - "beautiful burden" it's a cool fence
ReplyDeleteWe are working with fencing at my house as well. But it's new cedar fence. When they get it all constructed it will be my job to stain it. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree/bush . . .
ReplyDeleteSad to see it totally removed!
Great fence pics for Good Fences!
Nice series, Ida. Too bad about the rowan...birdies like them.
ReplyDelete~
mending fences?
ReplyDeleteA fine collection comparison images. I liked seeing the fence repaired.
ReplyDeleteThe fence does look good all stained and straight. Yes it is very sad about the Rowan tree, but it will be interesting to see what is planted to take it's place.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that they had to cut down the whole tree! I would have been inclined to divert the fence around it, but maybe they had another reason. It must be magnificent when all those berries turn orange like that. Wonderful series of pictures, Ida!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame they had to take the tree/bush down. It is a nice fence.
ReplyDeleteWould that all our burdens be so beautiful to bear. Too bad they had to cut the whole tree down. I can relate though - we had to remove one from our own backyard because it was just too big for the space. If it had fallen over - it would have taken out our entire house AND the fence.
