photo challenge 1/17/15 . . . unusual

Please excuse all the photos, but I felt like I had to post more than one photo just to give you some idea about the detail of this unusual fence/gate.  I have taken pictures of it before, yet every time I drive by these gates I have to stop.  There are two fences and gates probably about a half mile apart.  

We noticed some items that were not rusted . . . so I am assuming that even though it has been in place for years it is still being added onto.  This would have also been a wonderful post for "rust".

There is so much detail . . . these photos don't really begin to show how unique it is.

It was a beautiful day for a ride in the country.  

needed new pillows . . .

I'm not sure what day this was . . . it was after Christmas and after I was feeling better.  We have let life get in the way too often and haven't just gone out and wandered like we should.  I guess that should be one of my resolutions for the new year . . . Wander more - Have more fun!

So we got new pillows . . . and a beer.  

My winter break comes to an end and I am back at work tomorrow.  Am I ready for that? - no, but it is also okay.  I think I tend to get more done when I am working.  I am already making plans to start painting the house.  I am starting with one of the bathrooms.  I have decided on a color and just have to go back to work so I can get motivated to start . . . because why would I do that when I am off work for two weeks?  

This silly girl is back after being gone for two weeks. 

 I am waiting for her to show up and get her Christmas present.  

After that I am going to have to face the fact that I really do have to get up early and go to work tomorrow.  I have been doing pretty good at getting to bed at a decent hour . . . tonight - who knows?  I may just enjoy every last minute that I can.

is not the same color blue

you see?"  ~ Neo Shamon
