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.

What a sweet fence.

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.

Love open gate shots I always want to see what is beyond... Gorgeous..

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

I agree. White picket fences always lend such charm to a home. Love the photo.

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..

That is a great fence! I'd like one at my house. :)

Love the charm of fences. There is something very quaint especially when they are white. Thank you for sharing the photo. I visited from Wordless Wed.

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 :)
