Good Fences ...

Could this fence also be a good Sundial?

We like the ornaments on posts.

Fitting for city-slicker fence.

Fence or wall?

  20. Wonderful selection of photos for the different Memes.
    Both fences were great. It's fun to see the shadows that fences make. I like the fence post topper to, reminds me of a little pineapple.
    Some gorgeous skies, really cool to see the one with the rain coming down.
    Also very neat to see a "plane on a train."
