wild, wind born colza a.k.a rapeseed seems to have taken over this empty field where horses once grazed |
In rural Normandy there's no shortage of fences as you can see
even if a piece of ground is lying fallow there'll be a fence around it.
The ubiquitous hay bale seen through a plain post and rail fence |
The driveway leading up to this equestrian facility has fields on either side.
It looked so picturesque that I trespassed inside, just a little, to capture these shots.
After taking my shots I turned around
and on the opposite side of the road spotted this old piece of fencing
almost completely hidden by the weeds and overgrown hedges.
and finally because I live in Calvados, home to the wonderful breed of Normandie cows,
a very important fence which keeps this young lady and all her girlfriends
in their field and out of my back garden.
You can probably tell from my photos
that I've been monkeying around with that PicMonkey gadget again this week.
Still not got the hang of it yet but it really is fun to play with!

You know, fences can be a beautiful art form and you have demonstrated that! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHello, I just love your first image. The yellow just pops. And the cow is pretty too. Great fence scenes, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSo interesting, if you have a good look around you see all kind of things we normally would not notice. In this case all the different fences. Beautiful with the different lights on it!
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie! Pretty photos!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think Mr. Badger makes two more stops in the UK before heading your way. Are you still up for hosting him?
xoxoxo
Hello Maggie.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos of so many fences. The field of Rapeseed takes my eye. Our fields are are full of sunflowers, so I must remember to take my camera as well as my purse next time I go to La Boulangerie.
It's so beautiful there Maggie - and I know those pretty cows provide the richest milk for Normandy diary products such a cream and Camenbert!!!!
ReplyDeleteI always love the rapeseed fields at this time of year - they bring such vivid color to the countryside.
Enjoy each day of Summer my friend.
Hugs - Mary
I think that I need to buy a bottle of Calvados! And is that rapeseed? So beautiful -- I remember the fields of gold from my visit before.
ReplyDeleteYour fences are artistically photographed. Love the one keeping the cow away from your garden. Also the little hidden gate. Wonderful lush colour in the rapeseed.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, can you guess which is my favorite?
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the fences, but big smiles here at the sight of that beautiful Normandy gal.
A gret variety of fences today. I love the yellow rapeseed in that field. Very pretty.

ReplyDeleteexcept for the unique breed of cow, your shots could almost be in my part of texas. :) thanks, maggie, for sharing these views!
ReplyDeleteThese were delightful. I love the rolled hay bales inside the fence. That first shot with the grasses is lovely and I also enjoyed the shot of the cattle behind the fence at the end of your post.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful. Looks very lush right now.
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie, simply gorgeous photos and fence shots. Love seeing the cows. Could be right here in Texas.
