~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #258: Fences ~


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!

On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness. 🐾

A big thank you to Dawn for guest hosting this week. It is truly an honor to be asked to host, and quite a responsibility to respond to all of us out here joining in the fun!
