Good Fences #124 - Rusty Beauty



Welcome! - It's been a (rough) week here so I haven't had much time to visit blogs or post. 

Hopefully next week will be better.



Today I'm joining in on the fun of GOOD FENCES hosted by Theresa from (The Run-a-round Ranch Report).

One day a while back Coleen and I went out for a walk and we spotted this fence in someone's yard.  The yard was very overgrown so you really couldn't see a lot of the fence but what we did see was rather interesting.


Look at all that rust, it's really cool looking.

Zooming in for a closer view....

Finally a really close-up view of those (pinecone or pineapple) details at the top of the post.  I couldn't decide which one they reminded me of the most.


I may try to find this fence again and see if I can get some different views of it as it's quite intriguing.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing this rusty beauty.

   I'll try to get by your blogs this week.  - With my hubby and Granddaughter being gone all this past week I've had a lot on my plate.  Taking care of my mom isn't always easy with her "memory issues" now.  She gets confused easily & it's been hard on her having Coleen and Mike gone for so long.

I'll eventually get around to your blogs though.  - Have a great day!

  3. Hi Ida! Another really unique fence find! It's a great antique fence & I love the crown post topper. I'd say they look more like pine cones - very pretty!

  12. This fence looks quite old, Ida! So many people seem to be going through what you are dealing with now - stay strong and try to find some time for yourself.

  17. I'm sorry about the rough week, Ida. It's not easy dealing with aging parents. The fence you found is a beautiful one - full of intricate details that stand the test of time. I hope this week is a better one for you.

  18. It certainly is intriguing.. Now I wonder what kind of house is behind it..Looks mysterious.. lol! I understand the parent, mom forgetfulness. My sister took care of our mother for years. Not easy.. Take care Ida!

  24. Great fence find. They reminds me of pine cones and I can even see spiderwebs on the metal posts.

    ReplyDelete
  25. What a shame to let the metal rust like that. I'll bet the fence was beautiful when new.

    ReplyDelete
  26. this is a nice one ida and you did a beautiful job photographing it!! i think they are pineapples, a welcoming sign. did you notice the cobwebs??!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love the fence section and I have no idea, either, if its pine cone or pineapple...but so pretty. Hope you are keeping up doing it alone there. Blessings to your mom.

  30. That is a neat fence.

  31. I'm going for pine-cones.

    Sometimes life does give us very 'full plates' to deal with, and things are not always easy.
    Just take your time, family must always come first ...

    Sending positive thoughts your way.

    All the best Jan

  33. Fantastic! That rusty fence just goes to show how sometimes age brings beauty with it. I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  34. That fence has seen better days but has retained so much of its splendor! Relax and take things one day at a time.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love that rustic look! I wonder if it was maybe painted red once upon a time too? Either way, it looks so nice with the green vines climbing all over it. You certainly could get some great shots of this fence in the future -- such interesting details.
