Friday Fences - on 4th Street


I know promised to quit dipping into photo archives from a July gardening tour of Old Louisville, but life has interfered with me getting out to find new fences. Plus, there's just so many good examples of beautiful fences and homes in Louisville's old Victorian neighborhood. Just a few within a couple of blocks on 4th Street:

This beauty that looks like a verdigris green finish on wrought iron leads into a garden.  The flower scroll design is echoed in the side fence panels:



Why I do believe we could be in New Aw'leans! Not surprising that this house and fence would remind us of New Orleans since both cities share a deep French heritage that's reflected definitely in the architecture. Another fence closeup shows off the graceful wrought iron design and promise of a great garden behind the fence:

Now for more examples of unique fences from all over, or to share your entry, be sure to stop by our host Janis' place at Life According to Jan and Jer . And I'm sure she wouldn't mind if, like me, you need to dip into the photo archives for some fences!

  3. That gate is one of the prettiest wrought iron gates I have ever seen! It's so beautifully crafted. SO GLAD you decided to share it tonight!

  4. I love the fence with the greenish color. It's just gorgeous.
    To answer your question about the white horse...I thought he looked ribby too. But I'm sure he is well fed and cared for as the whole place is beautifully taken care of.

  8. No compalints here, I love the fences you're putting up. And, that's why we have archives, for those times when life gets in the way.
    I too have delved into my archives for next weeks FF, and dug out the tree top walk we did a couple of years ago, thanks for the idea ;-)

  9. The archives are there for a reason. If they were bad photos you would have deleted them long ago. Instead you have saved them for the right time to post. This is a great variety of fences you have shown today. Keep on clicking.
