Along that little road...

There are days when I just have to get out with my camera!  These blah days don't offer much in the way of subjects, but I get in my car and drive UP (always up because our town is in a valley) to a hill, a wide-open flat, or another valley.  So often, I visit Golding Road, a little dirt and gravel road named for the homestead that once stood beside it.  The trees are still there, and I've photographed them so many times, in all seasons.  On a foggy morning after nighttime rain, I pulled on a sweatshirt, sweat pants, and picked up my camera.  Knowing that dirt roads are muddy this time of year, I opted to drive our pickup instead of my car.  These are three images I'm pleased with; trees and fences are at the top of my "favorite subjects" list.   Two were turned into "posters" -- the quotes I chose reflect my concern with our current political climate.  Linking up with Good Fences this Thursday. 

Fence with a Message

When I struggle to find photo subjects during the very drab season between winter and real spring, I look to fences.  I love wooden fences with barbed wire, and there is absolutely no shortage of these in the rural area where I live.  

Wire Gate

I love gates of all types, and because I live in a rural area, I see many gates that open into farm fields.  Often, the gates are made of wire. Sometimes, they have wooden posts as stabilizers, but some don't need them.   Such is the situation with this gate.  It's a combination of woven wire and barbed wire, and when opened, it's just tossed to one side.  In this case, the gate was opened to allow farm equipment into a field for harvest.
