Boots, Barbs and Bluebonnets

I spotted this cowboy boot fence while on a drive in the Texas Hill Country . . . on Willow City Loop near Fredericksburg, Texas.

How very Texas. Is that a thing then? Boots on the fence! They don't even look particularly old and tatty. Great find Gayle.

[FBailey]

I have to ask is this fairly usual? Makes for a great feature fence:)

[Peter Dulis]

Love it ...

[Gayle]

@helenhall @fbailey Thank you both for your comments! I've heard of these cowboy boot fences in the past but this is the first one I've actually seen so I do consider it somewhat unusual. I did look them up online out of curiosity and found five or six different boot fence locations in the Texas Hill Country. I'm wondering if any of the other 365ers living in Texas have seen one of these boot fences . . . Lou Ann @louannwarren , Henri @henrir , Ingrid @ingrid01 , Rosan @fntngrma ?

Haha, this is so fun, love the blue carpet too

[Babs]

What an interesting fence. I wonder how this tradition started.

[Ingrid]

That's a real Texas picture!

[amyK]

Cool find

[Milanie]

Definitely a Texas find! Love your title- and the way you lined up your shot.

[Dinah Pinkston]

Very nice lines in your pic, and how unusual to line it with boots!

[Connie Little]

Great lineup.

[Harbie]

What a great, creative idea for a fence! I also love the blubonnets! Fav. Jane, @janeandcharlie, was recently visiting Texas from NM and posted one. I wonder if it was a different fence or the same one. I enjoyed both photos!!

[Harbie]

Jane's photo is from March 28thth if you want to check it out. It looks similar but I was looking for a familiar boot...haha...so not sure! :)

[Issi Bannerman]

How fabulous. What a great shot with the bluebonnets too - so Texas! I've never seen or heard to these fence decorations before - shame, as I'd definitely have gone in search of one or two had I known! Love your photo caption too Gayle!

[CC Folk]

A fun fence! Love the boots on the posts!

[Margo]

Really like this FAV

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful find, sure makes an interesting photo, love e the Bluebonnets...

[Anja]

Great capture of this fun fence :-)

[Lou Ann]

@gaylewood I’ve seen that very boot fence, 3 years ago now. I’m so glad you are taking a Bluebonnet photo excursion, jealous too!

[Merrelyn]

What a great fence. It's interesting to see your bluebonnets from this angle. I imagined them to be much taller.

[Karly]

This is a great boot fence. I've seen these before but this is the best one by far! Wonderful image with that leading line and the Bluebonnet cluster - well done!

[Margaret Brown]

Unusual and a great capture

[Henri Russell]

Great find. I love the boots on the fence posts.

[Rosan]

What a fun find! I've not seen that many boots on the fence but did see a couple, just don't remember now where! ;>/ Great shot and composition.

Great find and capture...fav

[Gayle]

@harbie Thanks so much for mentioning Jane's photo in your comment, Harbie! I enjoyed viewing not only her boot fence photo, but all her wonderful San Antonio photos as well! It's so cool to see photos of my hometown in another 365er's album. :-)

[Michelle]

Great find! lovely capture 😁

[Chris Johnson]

Haha that's an interesting way to store all ones boots.
