Sally's prompt this week is to find some Aged Beauty.
Something from the past, an old building,
a vintage treasure from a flea market, maybe even a
wonderful piece of jewelry from our jewelry box.
I opted for some rust!
Glorious rust!
I love this fence. I drive past it twice a day to and from
work.
You can see it in the background there.
I am drawn to this spot every spring as these daffodils
bloom all over the hill.
Spectacular!
Look at the size of this one. There are a few odd ones
that are HUGE!
Now, if you saw my "Flower Stalking - April" post
on Facebook, you know where these were taken.
(I have a habit of stalking flowers in my neighbors
yards and neighborhood and very carefully taking shots)
I was not driving!
I parked my car, right next to the
Secret Service Patrol Car,
and took the pictures.
They happen to be on the grounds of
the Embassy of Israel.
Thank you Mr. Secret Service officer for letting me!
Please hop on over to Sally's blog to see what
wonderful Aged Beauty folks have found this week.

That does look like a cool fence. And the flowers are also nice, of course.

Rust - love it! Husband hates it. I have to sneak it in. ; )
The old fence is a wonderful backdrop for the beautiful flowers.

Awesome! I love the mix of the old and rustic among the new, fresh blooming flowers!
Hah! Your flower stalking story almost had me snorting hot chocolate out my nose!
That fence is a perfect backdrop for the flowers - I do love daffodils!
Such beauty: both aged and brand new! love daffodils and I can't wait to see them in the yard; until them - I enjoy them everywhere I can, including in your beautiful pictures :)
Love old fences and flowers! Nice post!
Old and new together - just lovely
I too have a thing for rust. Love the fence and grat photos of the flowers.
Rusty fences are so beautiful. Sometimes I get angry when they are painted!
So glad the Secret Service man didn't arrest you, so you could share these wonderful photos!
LOL...I love the inconguity of the daffolils and the rust...great photo! Thanks to the nation of Israel from me too!...AND, of course, the Secret Service dude!
There's just something about old rusty things! Add flowers and it's even more special. Great photos!
Great color combo those daffodils and rust. Love your story about the embassy daffodils.
