Fences

As most of you may know, we are currently in the US for the holidays and are thoroughly enjoying our time with friends and family. At the moment, we are in sunny San Diego and have had a fabulous time with my sister, nieces, nephew-in-law, and our little grand-nephew. It’s been an amazingly special time; my heart is full. As a result, I have not taken the time to prepare a proper blog post. So today, I am falling back on my archives and sharing photos of fences; yup, fences. They really do make an interesting medium for photos and sketches.

Fences, railings, and barriers, are made of wood, stone, barbed wire, wrought iron, composite, recycled plastic, and many other materials. They are old, new, pristine, crumbling, attractive, and even eyesores, but I am still drawn to them and have accumulated a good collection of photos. Here are a few of my favorites.

Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up. Robert Frost.

The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourself in, but you cannot for ever fence it out. J.R.R. Tolkien

If I am more fortunate than others I need to build a longer table not a taller fence. Tamlyn Tomita

I hope you enjoyed this collection of fence photos. I hope to be back on track next week with a proper blog post.

All the best,

Tricia
