Heading into the city I pass this fence and field on a regular basis. In the spring it's a treat for Elenka, because it's just loaded with cows and baby calves. Me? I just enjoy looking at the fence and the rolling fields heading off into the distance. Oh, and the 3 or 4 old bathtubs, for their water in summer resting along the other side, add a nice touch. It's Maine; we're pretty resourceful in these parts. It makes me always chuckle when I see that a 'new' one has been added during the 'dog days' and heat of July and August. Traveling by the other day in a light snowfall, I remembered how much I enjoy TexWisGirl's blog shots of all her fences and gates a ways from here. This is my tribute to her fences. Giddyup!

rustic, wooden fences always catch my eye....bathtubs for water? how does a person end up with so many bathtubs?
ReplyDeleteI love this image - I can "hear" the silence of the snow.
ReplyDeleteDon't fence me in! Beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good shot! Fences are also great photo images.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why fences make such great images . . .love this one with the snow. . .
ReplyDeletei am SO glad i can comment here again (thanks, google chrome). gotta love a good fence!!! nothing better (except maybe a gate...) ha! thanks, birdman!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot ... I like the rustic, wooden fence against the clean and white snow :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a meme about FENCES ---so I get to see LOTS of them on Fridays!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your snowy fence, and I'm especially impressed at the bathtub use for the cow's water source... Neat idea!

The farmers and would be farmers use bathtubs here in Kansas also. So maybe it is a universal thing!!!
ReplyDeletei like to see cows. dont see them much around boston (did i ever?, now im not sure). its a very common sight in the netherlands... fields and fields with cows, passing by you while sitting in the train.... or while biking. ow... i notice that i miss this... buuuhhh.
ReplyDeleteSuper shot of the fence. I'd love to see the bathtubs. :)
ReplyDeleteNice shot Birdman!
ReplyDeleteAs photos go -- fencing always seems to produce great interest. Yours was beautiful today -- barbara
ReplyDeleteIsn't it rather cold taking a bath out in the open these days or do you only do that during the summertime? You Maine folks are pretty cra...er, resourceful, indeed!
ReplyDeleteHey, we have plenty of those old bathtubs in pastures around these parts as well!
ReplyDeleteI thank you dear BIrd for this lovely snow scene. We don't have that here and sadly this week, we have destruction once again.

This could be in Wyoming. Winter desolation, wherever you find it, has common elements.
ReplyDeleteBathtubs in a field? Maybe you are the guy who can explain those ads for ED pills, in which a baby boomer man and woman lie in side-by-side outdoor bathtubs and make moon eyes at each other. I have never been in that romantic setting, so I don't get why that is supposed to make me want to buy those little pills.
ReplyDeleteThis could be Out West, without even having to squint.
ReplyDeletePoetic.
