Good Fences

On an Amish Farm Near Westby, WI

To be precise, I think this is Sam's father's place. And it's not like he's going to be reading my blog.

Serious Barbed Wire
Somewhere in our neighborhood

On 18th Street.
Neighbors cleared the land. A makeshift hedgerow?

and that reminds me...

No, I didn't get this confused with Anglophile Friday.
It was simply a good excuse to post these fence photos.
South of Kettlewell on the B6160
North Yorkshire


In Kettlewell

Creative Fencing 101
Along the B6160

Getting off the beaten path was the best idea ever. Not ones to join tour groups, we liked renting a microscopic vehicle and traveling out where there are fewer people and many sheep.

 I could hardly mention sheep 
without posting a photo of one, could I?

 I know, you're sick of this fella.
But he's my favorite.
And it's my blog. :-)

    I for one am happy you posted the sheep since I hadn't seen him before. Love all those fences especially the creative one.

    I never get sick of any animal an di love goats.. the odd thing to me is I can tell what country the fence is in just by looking at the photo.. so different over there on the other side of the pond. i love the barb wire and also the ancient type fencing in the UK...

    Red doors are my favorites! There was a gray house with white trim and a red door on a house near my grandparents home when I was growing up. I fell in love with red doors right then and there- I must have been about 4 years old! Red has been my favorite color ever since. Love those fence pix too. They remind me of my greatgrandfather's farm.

    Serious fencing indeed! I truly like these random views of fences and especially what's around or in front of. I'd say they are all creative!

    Some of that looks rather familiar. I'm particularly sure I've seen that sheep before, in a field not far from here!

    Totally not sick of that fellow! (Of course, I am relatively new here, but I don't think I'd be sick of him anyway.)

    Love the red door and the cottage name. I found it interesting that addresses in England were names on cottages. Nice photo of the slope of the land in Kettlewell.

    I think of barbed wire (or "bob" wire, as I thought it was called when I was a child) every time I look at my right arm (Don't ask!)! I really don't mind looking at that sheep again, but I love your sass about it!

    Who's sick oh him?! He's a stalwart fellow, isn't he! Well, since visiting a blog discussing various kinds of fences, I am thinking about whether they keep people in or others out. Deep thoughts for a Thursday.

    I love the stone fencing and I always enjoy seeing sheep! You have some great shots and I like the creative fencing, too. It reminds me of our fencing (without the stones) that we had to do at a creek to keep our horses out of the neighbor's side when we lived in the country several years ago.

    Who could ever be sick of that fella? Such a fine sheep! :) I love the picture of the red door. I have not made the GF recipe, but look forward to it. Have a great 4th of July!

    Barbed wire simply makes good photos! I love your sheep - how can one get tired of such a beauty? As an anglophile myself I love your photos from Yorkshire very much.

    Lovely - the coiled barbed wire 'wreath' is my favorite, but I have to say the photos of Yorkshire are so beautiful. Love the hillside fencing and of course the sheep :) xo Karen

    So beautiful, and the sheep is perfect! I for one can love photos of sheep, it might be because we raise Katadin sheep on our farm. ~smile~

    Such a variety of fences today! Love the mossy stone fence. Sheep always remind me of the "Babe" movie. Bah ram ewe ... some classic lines in that movie about sheep and sheepdogs. I won't quote my favourite because too many people here like sheep! Your sheep looks quite handsome with that windswept devil may care look ;) Wendy

    I love all your fence photos today Judy. The ones in England are beautiful as we also travelled the lesser roads in our travels there and saw the stone fences everywhere. And sheep. I love sheep.
