Cee is having us build: FENCES today
Robert Frost said “Good fences make good neighbors.”
What do you think? Go and let Cee know at

Here are some of my fencing thoughts:
This is the fence outside of Parliament in Dublin.
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.
Both of these fences are found in the Koog Zaandyke neighborhood just outside of Zaandam in North Holland.
Love your neighbor as yourself; but don’t take down the fence.
There is a balance to these things called fences and we must forever seek to maintain it.
This week Black & White Sunday has challenged us with the theme FLOW
Here is my thought on the matter
“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

This week Cee has given us an open topic for our challenge:
So I have chosen this little thatched cottage in the village of Doolin just of the Cliffs of Moher for my offering.

Here are my picks of the week.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
― William Blake
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more”
― George Gordon Byron
