Good Fences ~ Edition 4 ~

I was more then overjoyed when I found this carousel in Washington.
Situated on the Potomac River,
it was surrounded by a beautiful white fence.
Score...
I need fences and I love carousels!!
 
Pictures only...but once again,
given the choice, which of these beauties would you choose for your ride?!
For me it was a tad difficult...but I choose the hummingbird!
 












I saved my ride for last...
I have never seen a hummingbird on a carousel,
and she would be my pick, for sure!!
 
What would you ride??

I am super excited to be sharing my colorful carousel
with it's pretty white fence with 
for Good Fences.
Stop by and consider joining in the fun, any fence or gate will do!!

Oh so beautiful! Debbie I am so happy that you share your photos with us. I have never seen one like this. I would have to try them all, so hard to pick a favorite. Love them!

Beth said...

Gorgeous! I choose the tiger or maybe the lion. So many choices!

Wow, what gorgeous painted animals!! I like the hummingbird, too. You make me realize through your photos that I need another trip to DC -- soon!

Beautiful! I would ride the horse in the fifth photo up from the bottom. This is a fabulous carousel. I forgot all about the fence while admiring all the pretty carousel animals! LOL

Fence? What fence? All I can see is the dragon horse. Up and down and all around I'd go. I absolutely love carousels and carousel music brings back marvelous memories for me.

Definitely polar bear! Although, there are so many interesting animals - I might have to go around a few times... Fantastic find!

Ida said...

Wow what a find! Did you go for a ride? - I've never seen so many different animals on a Carousel before. I think I'm going with the Eagle though or the Tiger. Loved this and the white fence surrounding it is charming.

That is very nice. I really like them all. So many choices. I think though it would be a horse. :)

The hummingbird or the eagle! A really beautiful and unusual carousel!

Brian King said...

That's awesome! It's difficult, but I really like the eagle.

Tina Fariss Barbour said...

What a cool carousel! I would choose the lion or tiger--you know I love cats. :-) I can see you on the hummer--so fitting!

Carola Bartz said...

That is a hard choice - I was torn between eagle, lion and tiger, and the eagle won.

Adrienne said...

Gorgeous carousel! And a hummingbird?!! Never! so rare! I love the light - and the way the light is casting shadows through your pretty fence!

Cheryl @ TFD said...

I love carousels! I'd probably choose a horse, I've always loved them. That spirited beauty in the 4th photo would be the one I'd pick. You have got a great series of shots here!

marilyn said...

Carousels make us believe in magic, don't they. I have never before seen a hummingbird on one.

Imogen said...

This is definitely the most beautiful carousel I have ever seen and I love carousels. This one has some much character and detailing. Super stunning.

Probably the nicest carousel I've ever seen! I'd have a tough time choosing between the polar bear and the tiger - but all of the animals are gorgeous!

The eagle, the other bird, and humming bird, and polar bear - like 'em all, just because I've never seen them on a carousel! Great find:)

I haven't been on a carousel for years, I would probably have picked the hummingbird too.
