away for the weekend: chain link - city style

chain link - city style


Hi!
So - is blogging kind of like riding a bike?
- because, I'm feeling like I've pretty much forgotten everything
- or maybe everything has changed
-or maybe...

Anyway - it's been a very long time since my last post -
in a nutshell:
Greg and I moved from our home near the city to a town up the coast a ways (aka Major Upheaval)
I was promoted at work (aka Death of Blog),
and our daughter got married in August (aka Summer of Laura)

But, hey - otherwise life is the same - and we're still heading to Away for the weekends
(well, sporadically...)
So now, I'm not really sure where to begin
- let's see - how about some urban chain link fences


Scenes from my weekday life -
(NO idea what that graffiti means - but I do applaud the colors on this dreary day)


Ah yes - the orange line - I could probably write a sonnet
How do I despise thee? Let me count the ways...

I actually took these photos a few months ago during a lunchtime walk
- and found them sitting on my computer


but I'm dusting off that big girl camera
- and getting back on that bike (so to speak)
- and probably needing to relearn lots and lots of things (my head hurts thinking about it...)
I'm happy to be back, though, and looking forward
to seeing everything that's going on with you!

Have a wonderful day!

  1. You have made chain link look beautiful!! I have a love/hate relationship with graffiti, when it's done right, it can really brighten an otherwise dull area!!

    I don't think there are any guidelines for blogging. I have always enjoyed reading everything you share.....and boy have you been busy!! It is nice to see you today!!

  4. Nice to see you back. The chain link fence is just is just a simple mundane thing to photography... but choosing an interesting background you brought the fence to life. Well done.

  7. Hello Karen!:) I found your blog through Good Fences, and hope to see more of you in future posts. Nothing wrong with chain mail, if it's photographed right like these three neat examples.:)

  8. Your chain link fence views are great - very different, and I like that. You sure have been busy. Congratulations on your daughter's wedding and your job promotion. A move is stressful, but I hope that you love where you live now.

  22. Just re-discovered your blog, Karen, and glad to have done so, welcome back to blog-land. Life does intervene in many ways and you have certainly had a lot going on. Congrats on the family wedding and the promotion and bet you are glad the move is done. After 2 years of relocatiing to NH we still find things to move from VA...sadly our home there is "still available."
