This week Dawn Miller of The Day After, guest hosts with the challenge theme of fences. Instead of going back through my very old archives (where I know I have some cool photos of wood fences), I decided to focus on the purpose of fences. From my perspective, the main objective of a fence is to keep creatures and objects safe, like the rails/fences on these third story condominium patios.

Under the umbrella of safety are two major intentions for constructing a fence: to keep creatures out…

…and to keep creatures in.

Sometimes fences serve a secondary purpose, as the one below which supports a lovely old wild rose,

and sometimes they wouldn’t really stop any critter from entering or exiting, though they do serve to provide guidelines!















Wonderful examples.
Love the goats and the fence!
Those goats were so friendly too!
👍👍👍
I love your take on, Lindy! Great captures of various fences, really nice!
Not nearly as lovely as your wood fences, however another take as we say!!!
Wow, those roses are really something!
Thank you, Dawn. The bush has been growing there a long time!
Terrific Lindy. Loved your thoughts about the purpose of fences and the animals out and in are my favorites this week.
Thanks again, Tina!
Excellent, as always.
So kind!
A nice focus walk. Nothing like goat to put a smile on anyones face. For me the beach photos would do exactly as you say…guide me. lol. Always a pleasure.
Thank you, Donna. Isn’t that the truth about goats? These were really friendly too!
Love goats – and friendly ones are the best. The support for the rose and the rose itself looks great too!
