FRIDAY’S FENCES

Standard

This is a fence in our local area that leads to a large private park..they used all sorts of woods to make it. The sides are totally solid and you can only see through the wagon wheel. Below is the entrance and I thought the little house on top was so neat. Nice park but sure can tell they want it PRIVATE which is why they built that neat fence.

This is the Kalamazoo river in rural Calhoun County Mi. Usually that is just a little sliver you see but my how the rivers are overflowing here right now. The neat old  barbwire fence stands to keep you out, but if things keep going around here the river will come to the fence.

Talk about fences…there were so many I could not count them all. I counted wooden,wire and metal all in the same field.

Amazing but yes we still had snow just two weeks ago..could get more you just never know how Spring will go in Michigan. Loved the woodpile and the woods beyond it and two more fences.

THAT OLD HOUSE ON A HILL

Standard

On an outing recently I passed an old brick home on a sort of hill. It was away from any other home..just sitting there. As I got closer it looked like it sat empty. I debated on stopping in the driveway to take a photo of it. Since the road was not highly traveled I just stopped and took some shots of it. DSCN8697

Brick homes that large out in the country are not seen very often.  It looked like someone had tried to update it a little. The back of the house had a built on deck. The closer I got the more beautiful the color of the brick.

Spotted this beautiful looking barbeque pit standing in an empty lot. Strange what items get left behind. It started to get darker and I headed for home.
