A Fence With a Lot of Sand

It's been a while since I joined Theresa's Good Fences. I haven't taken any photos of fences recently, so I looked through my archives and found this one:


If you just glance at it without really looking you might think this fence disappears in the snow. And although this photo was taken in winter, the fence disappears into sand - beautiful, white sand.

The location of the fence is at the entrance to this:


White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. We went there in December 2010 and fell in love with this huge area of white sand dunes and an incredible blue sky. The temptation to show you many more photos of this location is big, but I will limit this post to the yucca plants that grow there.


It's rather surprising that anything grows here anyway - but it does. I found the yucca rather fascinating, especially the dead ones that were lying on the ground - still beautiful.


Look at these huge seedpods. Aren't they gorgeous? And so photogenic...
