I caught a glimpse of this fence art a few weeks ago on my drive to a nearby county to pick up my granddaughter for a weekend visit. I have made it a habit now to keep my camera with me in the car for such occasions when I see anything unusual, out of the ordinary, “colorful” in my daily travels through life. So last night, I finally pulled off another drive-by shooting. I had my granddaughter in the car seat, so I pulled to the curb, lowered the window and took by best shot. And like most drive-bys, I was gone in a flash!
I appreciate how this homeowner took their privacy fence to the next level. Since this house sits on a busy street, I like to believe the fence serves more as a noise buffer. Instead of “en guard,” it definitely says “entrez vous!”
I think it looks like an idea you might find in Better Homes & Gardens or on Design on a Dime.
Photo update April 29: I dropped off my granddaughter first so I could get out of my car and stand in front of this fence for a better shot. The fence is edited more true to its original color; the sky was overcast so not as colorful as the first photo. But there are no shadows on this second photo.
I am always on the lookout for interesting fences. I have posted twice about fences but I am having a hard time locating good looking vertical fence board designed fences. This one is interesting!
Glad you find it appealing, Modmissy. I will check out your ‘fence posts.’ LOL
haha, love it!
Thanks for taking time to say so! 🙂
Love it. I definitely would have tried to snap a picture, too.
I had my granddaughter in the car seat and I couldn’t bear passing it by again! So I pulled to the curb, lowered the window and took by best shot. Like most drive-bys, I was gone in a flash!
You never know what you are going to see daily! Love the fence!
So true! It’s fun to capture the moments on the fly! 🙂 I really appreciate your compliment!
It’s different.. I have never seen this kind of fence. Interesting much i must say.. I would have stopped and capture it too 🙂
Hello, Preety. The fence does give the house great curb appeal. Thanks for the ‘like’ and the compliment. 🙂
You’re welcome Sheila 🙂
Love the fence. I’ve never seen a decorated fence. Thank you for sharing it. – Max-
Me neither, that’s why it grabbed my attention out of the corner of my eye while driving down the road. I did a double take and made a mental note to go back with my camera.
I like driving with my camera as well. You never know what you might find and want to end up sharing.
Sheila, actually, cloudy days are the best time to take photos as the colors become saturate. Glad you are taking your camera with you now. I never leave home without one in my purse. When going to purposely take photos I always take my SLR. Otherwise it is my point and shoot from my purse.
Nice post and great photo!
Yes, Karen, the fence colors did turn out much better in the second photo; just wish the sky was blue. Would have been near perfect. Thanks for the compliment!
Love that fence. I haven’t seen any unique fences around here, but there is a neighborhood here that has a lot of unique garage doors, each one painted to look like a landscape, seascape, mountains, etc. They are quite beautiful. I’m collecting pictures of all those I find.
I would be very interested in seeing those. Happy you like my fence. Appreciate the comment.
Now THAT is what I call a fence!
Nice!

Thanks, Anne. Appreciate the compliment. It definitely speaks to you, doesn’t it.
