EMPS #6: Fences And What’s Behind Them
.
I love photographing fences. I have been intrigued by them since I was a little girl. There is a big variety of them out there, and each one tells a different story. Sometimes they are large iron ones with big heavy gates, sometimes they are the little white picket kind, with sunflowers growing next to them, sometimes they are a simple chain link, while other times the fence you see might be a beautiful weather beaten fence, holding in the daisies. Good fences keep things out, but they also keep things in. The idea here is for you to find a fence, hopefully a photogenic one, and share with your photography not just the fence, but what’s behind the fence as well.

Peeking through the cracks of the privacy fence that borders my house and my neighbor’s, one sees the scuba-duck keeping watch over the property and maintaining peace and quiet.

Be sure to stop over at Carly’s place to check out the other EMPS entries. There are quite a few amazing photographers who regularly play along there. Also be sure to leave Carly a kind word. It has been a tough week for her and her husband as they had to say goodbye to their 11 year old cat, Elvis.

Another cool place to check out amazing photography is 5 x 5 project (and not because I have photos there). Krista hosts and assigns interesting and challenging photographic assignments for any photographer of any level to participate in. There are quite a few fun projects lined up right now.

    Hi Laura :)

    (Big Smile) I am so glad you have someone so dependable to watch over you! LOL. I have some cousins of this fine young duck in my garden, and one that is currently watching over the underside of my stove! LOL. A scuba duck is certainly a multi-talened duck to be sure!Great take on the subject!

    Always, Carly

    What a great shot! So, is that your watch duck?

    Makes me want to check to see who is watching the next time I take a dip. Glad the little guy is on duty…we wouldn’t want anything major to happen. Funny!

    There is something really cool about this shot. I’m not a pro but I’m guessing it’s the angle. Cute little guy!

    If there’s a flood in your back yard, Scuba Duck is ready to help! Maybe he can turn the fence into a raft, if necessary.
