Description
This was an abandoned cedar rail fence just south of Schomberg and south of the Schomberg River. The kids and I were out on a February walk. My daughter asked if this (a cedar log) was a good place for a bunny to live. I said it was perfect...She stepped on the log and out popped a cotton tail. The kids loved it!
The art of splitting cedar rails might be a lost skill. There are many hours of effort and countless cedar rails in that zig zag of fencing. The fence was still functional even 150 years later. The rabbit liked it - and where there is one bunny, there are many more.
This painting brings back a lot of great memories.

A bunny really did scoot from under the rails. It is a great memory. Thanks you Angela.
