I have been invited to join Green Thumb Sunday, which should be fun. Similar to other specific postings for a particular day of the week, this one calls for participants to post a photo from nature, eg. their garden, an animal/insect, clouds, trees, water or almost anything found in the natural world.
I thought I would post this photo for my initial GTS because, although the fence, posts and paint may be a little removed from the natural world, it does form one of the boundaries of my garden and it took so jolly long to get the photo without the subject either hiding or pulling faces, that I felt it deserved this honour.
why do men get retarded in front opf the camera lol, joe is the same he pulls faces, we are just starting renos on the new place so will be seeing the same sight soon (joe painting fence lol)

Excellent choice Alice. Sitting in any garden regardless of what your doing is an experience into the natural world. He looks so peaceful. It has a Tom Sawyer air about it. (T. Sawyer was an American Classic Novel we had to read as school aged kids.)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Green Thumb Sunday! Looks like you're going to have a great looking fence when he's done. I can't wait to see more of your garden and perhaps some views of your country from your perspective.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble taking a nice photo of my husband too. He always puts on this big fake grin. Since I have a digital camera I'll usually humor him and take the photo and then snap another when he thinks I'm done. LOL
If you know of anyone else that might want to join Green Thumb Sunday just tell them about it. The more the merrier. :) Anyone who enjoys taking photos of landscapes, nature - wildlife, gardens or anything that fits into that general theme, and who is willing to put up a photo most Sundays can join.
Have a great day!
I bet it's because he doesn't want people to see him in that hat hehe. Or maybe because he was grumpy about having to paint the fence? (lol only joking)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to Green Thumb Sunday too, and my photo is up!
Happy Sunday

This is a really cool shot! Love the bit of shade the painter has yet so much unfinished fence! Great share.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group. I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week too!
Good shot of your hubby's back. What kind of tree is that next to his left hand?
ReplyDeleteI hope I never have to paint another picket fence in my life! Not fun. Welcome to green thumb sunday.
ReplyDeleteRichard always has a project, doesn't he? Ross wants to know why your hand doesn't fit around the paint brush. He says painting is women's work (ha!). I told him someone has to work the camera :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this shot.
Green thumb Sunday sounds like fun.
Welcome to Green Thumb Sunday :))
ReplyDeleteNice fence! Even nicer that you have your own fence painter ;~)
Ahh! I see you got it working with the code and all, lovely!
ReplyDeleteWarmth welcome and what a great start, to introduce your garden fence. Then you can continue with everything in it later. *lol*
And of course I have to love that fact that you've got a nice painter there too ;-)
All part of the gardening world. Care and maintenance of the garden domain.
ReplyDeleteI guess your season of the summer is just around the corner.
I hope you enjoy our Green Thumb Sunday group!
Welcome to Green Thumb Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLovely white picket fence. I also noticed the white blossoms of your cherry tree. Simply gorgeous.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your sunday!
Hi Alice, aha - I see you got there before me.. I meant to come over and let you know what I had done, check that you didn't mind, I felt it would be okay.
ReplyDeleteHear Hear for Green Thumb Sunday!

Lookin good! Yers, guys can be wierd in front of the lens can't they? Happy green thumbing! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a late addition to the Green Thumb Sunday group - Janets Garden. I thought I'd let you know so that you could visit her and give her a welcome to the group if you have time.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures! Your landscape is beautiful. I will go take a look at Greenthumb Sunday. Sounds interesting. Sat and Sun are usually my greenthumb days too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the pictures and the wonderful landscaping ideas!
That is a cute photo, white washing the fence! Kind of a Huckleberry/Tom Sawyer type of photo. I loved all your other photos as well. You sure have a 'green thumb'!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteAlice, I actually featured you on my blog a while ago...
ReplyDeleteCheck it out.
I really like this photo Alice- from a different perspective- nice. Thank you for visiting my blog on my birthday and your lovely message :)
ReplyDeleteShona - Good Luck with the renovations.
ReplyDeleteWendy & Kathleen - Yes, we're quite familiar with Tom Sawyer over here, at least people of my vintage are. I suggested to hubby that he was playing Tom Sawyer, but he said that if he really was then he wouldn't be painting the fence at all - I would be doing it and paying him for the privilege.
Kerri - tell that funnyman Ross that my hand does, and has, fitted perfectly around a paint brush handle, but I just didn't want to show hubby up ...lol.
Thank you all for your warm welcome to Green Thumb Sunday. I will be spreading the word.
It's funny how some shots just capture the whole atmosphere..and this one certainly does! I love it!!I hadn't heard of Green Thumb Sunday so will have to look into it:-) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shabby chic fence you have in your garden. I’m all into painting things white at the moment. Marion
ReplyDeleteEvery good garden needs a quiet achiever,nice fence,good paint job Richard.
