Country entrances

My husband was talking to some country relatives in their yard and all of a sudden he realised that they had 2 entrances in their yard. He nearly fell over with excitement as he realised that these were not 'city' entrances. Hewn from logs, many years ago, from the property, the front entrance is charming. Rough, but charming. I can see that the overhead logs are held on with wire - the upright logs have had a hole bored in them and the wire is threaded through and twisted on top. Light blue plumbago softens the one side.

Here is the same entrance with the house behind the photographer. Some pots, on the left start a log enclosed garden. The tall white pipe holds a weeping pink geranium. A regular red geranium is to its right.

This view of the second entrance is looking towards the house. Quite a lot bigger and squared.

Same view, but a bit closer. A couple of gates, not sure where the dark one on the left opens onto. The family does have milking cows and there are stories of cows getting into the house garden and eating all the flowers and vegetables. Probably a 'good day out', from the cows point of view!
