I've spent some time at the farm in the last few days and there are plenty of things to photograph and keep me happy.
Hanging on the barn door is a chain with a hook and a ring attached to it, it's purpose long since forgotten.
I often mean to take a photo of it and the other day I noticed a single dandelion clock had become attached to it.
I love the juxtaposition of the very old and rusted with the tiny new and potential life:
Bordering the paddock is a fence a section of which was recently broken when a cow leaned a little too hard on it. The old wood is soon to be replaced with new but before that happens I wanted to capture the grey/blueness of the old wood against the green of the grass and plants.

I think you have a great eye fir what makes an intriguing photo.
It can Tom, it's made up of so many colours and textures giving some beautiful effects.
Thank you EGC - sometimes things just catch your eye and it's great to be able to capture them.
Both are really nice shots. I always enjoy rust and this rust shot is a work of art. Love the colors in the broken fence pic, too. Thanks for linking up!
Thanks Roan, I love a bit of rust. There is a bit of a light leak in the fence photo but I decided I quite liked the effect it give.
Excellent....I know you referred to 'new life' with the seed...but if you look at a quick glance it looks like an arrow piercing through the iron.
I love that chain and dandelion seed shot. It is poetic.
I can't get past 'chain with hook and ring' I NEEDto know why there is a hook and a ring on the same chain. I cam't concentrate on dandelion clocks until I know.
These are lovely photos!
It does doesn't it Anni - I hadn't spotted that but you are right!
It's lovely isn't it Mcguffy Ann.
You know what K, I've never questioned it (but I will just for you ;-)
Thanks Jackie.
The tiny flower with the big bold crusty rust is a great contrast. Nice find.
Past and future....great rust, too...
Both a great images. I love rusty stuff - it adds interest. I also like that bit of purplish light shining down on the Queen Anne's lace. Nice composition!
Thanks for your visit and kind comment on my RT entry.

I LOVE that first photo especially. Wonderful! Thanks for stopping in at Cranberry Morning. What are ladybirds??
Thanks Amy.
Thank you Marilyn.
Thanks TS - technically it possibly spoils the photo but I like it too.
Thanks CM - ladybirds are small red beetles with black spots - very common in the UK.
