Fences

Fences are one of my favorite things to photograph. They are such a beautiful focal point when surrounded by wildflowers, marking off an enormous meadow, or a stopping place for a bird.

I had a feast of different perspectives to see fences in Nebraska and Colorado. The first and last pictures are of fences south of Crawford, Nebraska. The wild flax along the highway was beautiful, but in front of this section of fence they became a continuation of the blue sky scattered like falling particles onto the grass. The last section of fence was taken the evening of the big storm when the sunset was brilliant over the Bluffs south of Crawford.

The middle three fences are in Colorado near Evergreen. I have always loved the weaving aspect of these designs of fence. Throw in about anything typical for Colorado seasons, whether it be grasses, wildlife in green meadows, wildflowers, or golden aspen trees, and you've got a very peaceful scene.

I will remember each place in these photos as a special gift of resting in the visual images that these fences provided.
