rolled barbed wire


I pass this fence post on my way to town, and this rolled barbed wire has been on this post since we moved here in 2010.  I always wonder why farmers keep rolled up barbed wire on fence posts.

  1. I wonder if they hung it there so they would remember to pick it up when they were finished replacing it? If so, I guess it didn't work! :)

  2. Amazing the things that inspire some photos. Just joined your blog so I hope to seee what other things you will find down your lanes. I hope there are wildflowers as they can be so pretty. Margaret

  3. Barbed wire is so pretty! So happy that you stopped to take a pic. Most people would drive by and not notice it.

  4. For us, it's as good a place as any to put barbwire found on the ground (so you don't run over it with the tractor!)

  5. I think it's because it's so prickly to carry around..LOL I have found barbed wire on our fence posts that my grandpa left hanging over 40 years ago.

  8. Makes an interesting picture, I think. I'm not sure why farmers leave there but I have see that here too. Only I wasn't smart enough to take a photo of it. :))
