 Don't know what it is about this image that captivated me so much. I do know that I took several images of it, and this is the one I liked the best. Nothing spectacular about it. An overgrown field, full of soon-to-flower goldenrod (oh! my allergies!) and Queen Anne's Lace, surrounded by a lot of tall grasses and other weeds, with an old wooden fence post, accompanied by some metal posts for support. Perhaps it was the tiny, solitary yellow flower in this sea of weeds. Or perhaps I'm seeing more than there really is to see. In any event, I liked it. And now I've shared it.  |

Ron,
Perhaps the solitary fence post represents what used to be.

Is that mesh around the posts? Perhaps the fence post is a tree that didn't make it!  |

Is that mesh around the posts? Perhaps the fence post is a tree that didn't make it! There is a small piece of plastic fencing tied to the old post. I think it used to be the makeshift "gate" into the garden. The post itself looks like a small tree trunk, or branch, stripped of its bark. It used to be one of the corner boundaries for a large vegetable garden (large enough to require a tractor to plow it) that used to run back to the distant tree line, and off to the right for several hundred feet. You're right, Mickey. It hasn't been used in a long time. |

It's a little patch of wild growth, something I can relate to. I like this kind of place since as a kid I used to 'explore' with neighbor friends, on bike or on foot. Many hours of freedom..
