Ditches Can Be Beautiful Too

You know it’s a hot and humid one outside when you walk out and your phone fogs up! Thought I’d take a picture as I was checking the mail and share it with you!

Wow a dirch with a crossing built in! I have heard of these, where they bridge most of the way across; so you can jump across, but I never saw one. It does make sense, thanks for the picture! :)

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed. And I’m not really sure how that little “bridge” got there lol.

From what I read, they are deliberately placed; to use as a pass over, because they are cheaper than a bridge. The one I read about had a culvert on the solid side for water flow. Also stock is less likely to cross than if it were a full bridge.

Interesting that something so simple, can be so complex. :)

Ohh, haha it took me a bit to figure out what you were referring to! Yes I’m standing on our driveway which has a culvert in it. At first I thought you were talking about that little green grass patch in the middle of the pic. (Lol not sure why I thought that..) We do have some ditches around here that have a concrete bridge, but those are less common.

Yes, the little green piece was put there deliberately, to allow you to cross, without having to walk around. It probably has a culvert against the left bank. They used to use them to cross over, by jumping, while blocking the livestock. There is a lot going on in that little piece of dirt! :D

That happened to me on July 4th, there was lightning in the area and I went out to take some pictures of it but my camera kept fogging up instead!
