Well I don't know if the fence police will arrest me. The question remains: Is railing a form of fence?
Last week Roy (www.flickr.com/photos/7226518@N04/) said that railing was a form of indoor fencing. That was all the permission I needed!!! ;-)
Now can railing also be outdoor fencing? I say yes! Do you? :-)

Happy Fence Friday everyone!
Yeh, here in Canada this is a three day week-end!

Have a great week-end everyone!

Bonne fin de semaine!

Excerpt from www.microview.org.uk/millennium/pages/moss_lifecycle.htm:

The now fertilised egg develops into a structure called the sporophyte. The sporophyte consists of a stem or seta and a capsule in which vast numbers of spores are produced. During the growth period when the seta is elongating and the spores growing and maturing, the capsule is protected by a thin covering called the calyptra. When the spores are nearly ripe, the calypra falls off revealing a cap or operculum that keeps the spores from being released. Finally, when the spores reach maturity , the operculum falls off and, usually in dry weather, the spores are shaken out of the capsule and dispersed by the wind.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
