Beadazzled

This is one way to dress up a chain-link fence. Mardi Gras beads year-round! Spotted this as we were leaving Breaux Bridge, LA last weekend. This old house sits on the main drag around the corner from the antique district. I wouldn't do this to my home, but I think it's super cool!

    And a longhorn skull over the doorway!

    The beads would not look as good anywhere else other than Louisiana. :)

    It's hard to imagine that it doesn't get vandalized.

    Your camera and lens combo do wonders for you. I had thought you would be into a newer camera because of the clarity that you get, so good on ya for doing so well with an older model.

    I wouldn't do it either, but this is wonderful and really gorgeous. I guess it speaks to the importance of being different, bold, and not worrying about what others think.

    GREAT beaded fence!! Put a big smile on my face!!
    When we were in NO over spring break - soon after mardi gras- I was amazed at all the beads in the trees along St. Charles!! Assuming the beads fall out eventually - but really kinda neat!! Rather Unique!!

    Super spot. What a rainbow of color adorns that fence. I loved the shot with the house behind it.

    How fun to make a show piece of the fence! That poor house, though, sure does need a paint job.

    That is a lot of beads. Think of the the time it took to do this. Never saw anything like it. Most interesting.

    Very Interesting!! I actually think this is very NEAT. Wonder how they keep folks from taking their beads? Glad you posted this for me to see!!

    I so enjoy seeing all the interesting things that your state has to offer..

    Have a good evening...

    My favorite fence EVER! (Wouldn't do it myself either, but I absolutely love this.) Great catch! We stayed near Beaux Bridge for a couple of weeks one year.
