I {Heart} a Picket Fence


When we were standing on the street corner in Richmond waiting to see Buddy run by in the half marathon, this is one of the houses I saw and immediately fell in love with. Every part of me screamed out, “I want this house!” The picket fence is REAL wood and NOT plastic, and it has a little gate at the front walk. And, just look at that divine glassed in porch reminding me of our home in Florida.A nice and smooth sidewalk is there but covered in beautiful fall leaves. Finally, there is the red trimmed glass front door and those heavenly blue shutters...real shutters and not fakes. Yes, this is my dream house...BUT only in my dreams.

Here it is in black and white, but this is one of those times where I really do prefer the color. It’s the colors that add the perfect touch and make me want to move right in.

  2. If I were ever to be an urban dweller again I would want something just like this as well.
    I've always loved a picket fence.
    Your B&W version reminded me of Leave it to Beaver. :)

  7. That is a nice place but I would grow tired of raking leaves very soon. I just notice your Word Verification statement in the sidebar and do not know how long it has been there but good for you. We must spread the word and don't fear losing any followers. Since I took a stand against it and made a post of such a few weeks back I haven't lost any followers, so you'll be fine. We must stop the madness. Have a nice weekend Genie, Buddy too.

  8. I am not sure I prefer the color...something about the B&W appeals to me...gives it a certain feel. But really, I would be happy to have taken it.

  11. Shutters that can actually shut over a window - wow, very little of that left in New England....the fence is really nice. However, the classy style I really like is the classic brick colonial with the orange carpet of leaves over the yard. So nice, just perfect. That this sits in a bigger city like Richmond is great - fine capture here!

  17. I see some ambiguity here, at first! One tree in front of the other, the other being shadow-like!
