Well,I like 'em all. They bring back memories of my childhood in south Texas, when we had to climb over or crawl under those fences so we could hunt rabbits. Ahhh...the memories.
I have wanted a nice gate for a long time, but we don't really have a place to put one without doing a LOT more fencing....and I don't think that's in the budget:-(
What an interesting idea for a photo series. When we travel in the west, we're always intrigued by the various ranch gates. It seems that nearly every photographer has a favorite subject, whether it be courthouses, lighthouses, barns, or whatever. Ranch gates would be a good subject for a photo collection.
There are more varieties in Arizona and New Mexico that I have seen. I never saw that many in Texas but then I just sold encyclopedias and Pots and Pans as a means to make money and get from Arizona to Houstin. I made it and was able to come back to Ohio by Greyhound Bus.
I was mostly in the towns and asleep when we went from one small town to another.
I love farm and ranch gates; they are so unique to the owner...Thanks for showing us some more....I especially like the round cut out one.....I bet the different elements in it reflect the owner.....
There's no doubt that Texas has the most interesting gates! I never tire of catching a glimpse of TX ranches. They remind me of my brother's few acres when he was there, he loved TX.
That first gate has some big lights. I would want lights out there too. I like initials on the gates. I would love to have some land and have it all fenced in and have a big gate. My furbabies would really love it!
A large ranch, I guess means many gates. I like the gate in a horse shoe. Funny and nice. thanks so much for you told me about the verification code. After a lot of but I've managed to get it off / Brita
hi. i'm Beth ... stop by often to check out your friday fences. love this grouping. great views. i'm loving the monogram. so different than what we see out here in virginia. hope one day you will stop by & see my blog. have a great weekend. (:
My momma always wanted a set of old wagon wheels to go in her garden...she would have liked the wagon wheel gate, so I will too;) I love all of the images in your header...it shows you and your favorites!
I do like the plain gate. I'm with Clint. They just bring back the memories of climbing over them or under them and when grandpa wasn't looking...swinging on them.

Oh, I like the "B" one best. Though the horse shoe holds some appeal.
I am partial to the monogram. ;) blessings ~ t.
I like the free wheeling gate! (if we had a gate, it would probably have a race engine on it....)
i would probably go with the initial....i'm kinda plain like that i guess!
I like the second one the best! Cool photos!!
Those are pretty! I like the one with the horse shoe.
These are great but I like the 'free wheeling" wheel. I would go for something funky and re-purposed myself...
I admit the little horse shoe scene is fun!
The second one is my favourite because it looks like chocolate. That's just the way I am.
good fences make good neighbors; or at least neighbors who know their place, which is part of being a good neighbor.
The horse shoe one is perfect-but it doesn't look like cows he's hustling! looks like a donkey-but cant be!! Love them all !!~~Rain
i would pick the initial idea, love the photo, the house behind the fence and the gate.
It makes me miss my uncle that just passed away in Texas!
I like that charming little house behind the rather plain gate.
Wonderful gates, I'm sure tickeled when our work correctly.
How very... Texas of these gates. Nice!
Love the horseshoe! I can relate to the plain gate since that's what we have.
I need something like any one of these. Thanks for showing options.
Love that horseshoe! Gotta enjoy people's creative bent!
I like the second very much Theresa.....good shots.
Greetings, Joop
I prefer the hoseshoe, very creative.
Love the welcome horseshoe....
I like the last one, simple but beautiful. (o:
I like the last one too. Wide open spaces beyond it...that's for me!
I like the horse shoe on the side. Cute!
I have wanted a nice gate for a long time, but we don't really have a place to put one without doing a LOT more fencing....and I don't think that's in the budget:-(
I really, really like the "Welcome" horseshoe, but I also like the initial.
I want more choices.
I must be a plain Jane. I like the wagon wheel one the best. Nice and simple. But they all look nice. :)
I always liked the gates that used their brand to identify the spread.
That second one sure is 'welcoming'.
I love that second one.
This is a great bunch of gates!

I like the welcome cutout!
You do find the "great gates"!! These are all terrific! Enjoy your day, Theresa!

I like this fun series!
I love that little house...so sweet in the trees with its little gate! love it!
Hmmm -- don't know which I'd choose (course all of them are bigger than our little cottage ;>)
Those are such nice pictures. I like gates. I also really like the one with the house far back off the road. That is very nice too.
I'm partial to the horseshoe cut out myself! :)
Love the horse shoe!
I like your ranch gates. So different than us.
Have a great day to you.

I like the initial and the wheel the best. I'm always intrigued when I drive by properties with entrances like these.
Really like the welcome cutout.
Love the cut out on that first fence. Another nice batch of fences.
Podoba mi się pierwsza z miłym przywitaniem :-). Pozdrawiam.*** I like the first with a nice greeting :-). Yours.
It goes round, round, round, round, round, round etc
I'm liking the horse shoe, thank you very much!
There sure is a lot of funky gates in Texas I love seeing them. B

Maybe we should start a meme on gates....
A great colletion of gates - you sure have a lot of them where you are. I really like that house as well.
I like them all. The horseshoe is cool.
I'm learning that gates in TX are massive!
T, Very interesting! The second spread is very pretty. Do you know what the solar panels are for?
There's no doubt that Texas has the most interesting gates! I never tire of catching a glimpse of TX ranches. They remind me of my brother's few acres when he was there, he loved TX.
I saw some while driving around the other day on our anniversary and it made me think of your posts
That first gate has some big lights. I would want lights out there too. I like initials on the gates. I would love to have some land and have it all fenced in and have a big gate. My furbabies would really love it!
I like all of them!
Great shots!
You're too funny! Love the 2 horses & windmill on the horseshoe =)
I like the detail design on the first gate - neat way tp personalize.
They are all great -- don't see many around here, but I actually took a photo of one yesterday. I'll post soon. :)
I'll stay with the initial idea with a little ranch on the side :)
you sure have the gate and fence and barn material happening right outside your back door - almost. Nice collection today.
I never realized there were so many different gates in Texas until
following your blog,and it's just incredable how you find them all.
aren't Texans the coolest...love the adorned gates...
They are all great gates, but I love the amazing and extra-large horse shoe design.
Thanks for sharing the beauty you see, Theresa.

Hello Theresa,
Fantastic to see these different gates.
Number 2 and 3 are complete artwork. Beautiful!!

A large ranch, I guess means many gates. I like the gate in a horse shoe. Funny and nice. thanks so much for you told me about the verification code. After a lot of but I've managed to get it off / Brita

They are works of art, aren't they? And to think I wanted a cattle gate when we lived in the Hollow!...:)JP
I like all the gates. But I think I would go with the one with the wheel just because I like old wheels.
I like the last best.
We have cattle grids with little side gates but no gates other than five-bar-gates into fields.
The more gates the merrier. I like the white house with the tan roof and the gate too. Neat place.
Texans love their signature gates and fences. I am amazed at your growing collection.
I love that you go to so much trouble to show us barns/gates/fences/ponds/birds/dogs. You are awesome! :)
If I had a ranch, I'd get the biggest, prettiest, fanciest gate around. :)
Gosh TEx, you certainly do have many fences in Texas...
Beautiful fences from your perspective of looking straight out into the field...
Wow! thanks for sharing these wonderful interesting fences from Texas! They are great!!
WOW 85 comments!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.
That is some fancy cut out.
I love the fancy cut out!!
As usual, I love your fences....we may have more barns but you sure have the fences. All of them interesting.
Love the gates. There is just something about all of them that a different
Love the "welcome" horseshoe! Texas fences/ gates are so distinct.
The initial works for me!
I want to have that welcome sign in a horseshoe. First time for me to see this welcoming idea. Awesome photos as always.
Cool looking gates, my favorite is the second one. Great photos, Theresa!
I like the 3rd one. More modern looking than the other two :)
are there any gates in texas that you have not photographed??
i'm a horse shoe kinda girl!! xo
I like your captions T! Cute.
I like the monogram - and the house behind it!
Love the welcome horseshoe
I like that horseshoe design...very cool!
You just don't see gates like that here in the city.. They look great..
Hugs, Linda
I really like the second gate, but the horse shoe on the first one is nice. I've noticed electronic gates don't seem to be used much down that way.
I do like that horse shoe gate!
I think my favorite is number 3! sandie
Good gosh your comment list is long! I kept looking and wishing that the second photo had goats in it. But I doubt it really was (sigh)
I love the horseshoe!
I like the second one the best. There is something about that "scene inside the horseshoe."
Ooooh! I liked all of these~ especially the horseshoe!
Love the horseshoe!
The big massive gate and fence in front of the small ranch house just seems a little much. :)
Loved all your captions!
I liked the one with the horseshoe and cutouts. Great gates!
I like the horseshoe gate. Do you have a gate?
i like the red gate and the horse shoe on it.
xo
Gotta go with the horseshoe. Nice!!
I really like the horseshoe, that is cool.
My momma always wanted a set of old wagon wheels to go in her garden...she would have liked the wagon wheel gate, so I will too;) I love all of the images in your header...it shows you and your favorites!
Love what they've done with the horseshoe :D)
I liked the wagon wheel, but you have to admire someone who will put the fancier ones up! Lovely set of choices you provided!
I'm liking the horseshoe- that is neat.
I REALLY wish I had a ranch gate. That would mean that I have a ranch...
Pretty!
Solar panels on that first one?? These are all terrific gates....I was just thinking about how Texas-sized each one is, too.
Very cool metal horseshoe cut-out!!
I do like the plain gate. I'm with Clint. They just bring back the memories of climbing over them or under them and when grandpa wasn't looking...swinging on them.
Love the detail in the cut-out one. The simple wheel is nice, too.
Very nice photos.
Regards and best wishes
I like the ol' wagon wheel... pure and simple baby
