Through the Garden Gate

I've always wanted a picket fence around my yard.  The homeowner's association rules in my neighborhood do not permit fences.   Such a pity -  I think they are quite charming.

    I'm with you -- I think there is something romantic by a white picket fence. Lovely shot.

    I'm a fence addict. I love the one you found. We can't do fences in our neighborhood either.

    I am in the same boat as you...sigh. NO fences...the charm has been taken out of alot of neighborhoods where I live.

    I know what you mean, they are very attractive. Could you not put one somewhere in your back garden, then the Homeowners Assn won't spot it! lol

    Love your picture. I'd love to have one of those older Victorian houses in the middle of town with a white picket. However, I live out in the rural area with no fence, and no Victorian, but I can still dream it, and your picture helps. Happy Tuesday..

    Like how you captured the fence with a iron gate and seeing into the yard beyond the gate and the sweet picket fence - is ideal make for an interesting camera shot as well.. I am crazy about picket fences and wish too that I had them around my place.. lovely image..

    I love white picket fences. What a shame that your HOA won't allow them.

    The subdivision that I live in does not allow fences either. I really want one! Mainly so I can have a dog and let them roam free in the backyard when they want :)
