Good Fences #138 - Rustic Beauty

What a week it's been here in the US - I'm sure the world is watching us all now and seeing just how we are going to handle this election.  Again I
urge everyone regardless of how you voted to be kind to each other, show respect & stand behind our leaders in prayer.  


So now let's move on to something not political in nature.  -  It's time for,
GOOD FENCES - Hosted by Theresa from The Run-a-round Ranch Report.



My fence today is nothing super spectacular.  It's just a plain wooden fence but I think it's beautiful if you stop to look at the details.


I love the various heights of the boards on this fence.  -  It looks faded on the one side but I'm thinking that is just due to the way the sun was shining on it and the angle that I shot the photo. - It's still a very weathered fence.

I like the gate in the middle of the two sections of the fence. and the moss growing on the fence as well.

My favorite feature is the latch that is on the fence.  I think it's really cool looking and give it a very rustic feel.

Sometimes aged things just have a beauty all there own.  Imperfections can be beautiful.

Don't forget to stop by and check out all the other great fences.  Have a wonderful day.

    I think your "plain wooden fence" is just lovely. It looks comfortable and gives a feeling of security. I agree, the latch is appealing. I like the handle, too.

    I've never been the biggest fan of the aged look even though I know many are. If I had that fence I'd get some solid stain for the wood and spray paint the hardware but that's just me.

    Hi Ida, I love this fence, the gate, the latch. I love the moss, also. There are some really large rocks in our yard and some have moss growing on them - I just love that!
    Wishing you and yours a nice weekend and may God bless America.

    It is a good fence. And unlike our old fence, the latch still works!

    (We use a big rock to keep the d.a.w.g. from escaping.)

    Neat fence-- you have a nice eye to catch it. The heights appear totally random yet average out nicely.

    I love the varying heights of the fence in the first shot. There's something about weathered wood fences - they have their own charm!

    Canada has definitely been watching the election with great interest, and really nothing is changed for us: we will always work with the American President to strengthen our bonds and our two countries. Friends to the end!!! :)
    I love the old time rustic look to this fence. The weathered boards and the old fashioned lock. It's got heaps of charm.
