This is a great shot, Nancy!
Oh Nancy you never cease to amaze me with your creativity. This is a great idea. Alas I have already posted. I will try to get in on this next week.I am doing a farming piece tomorrow.
I love that you always take the most ordinary farm item or any item for that matter and turn it into a true work of photo art.
Thanks Nancy and Two Bears Farm for the interesting theme!
Good luck it should be fun. Later B
Thanks for letting me join you in hosting! Looking forward to hopping around and reading all the posts :-)
Gorgeous picture! Good luck on your blog hop! Too bad I live in a city now and not in rural NJ!
Sounds like a fun and informative meme. I live in a very small town, so consider myself rural. There are only 2 houses between me and fields, plus I grew up on a farm, so love all things rural. I can't participate this week, but maybe soon.
This sounds like fun event Nancy. Your pic is intruiging as always.
Have a nice day:)
There is something grandly nostalgic about an old iron gate on a farm. Love it!
Wishing you a happy week!

well this is a fun one! i'll join in! love your entry too!
Great shot! Love the rural theme. I will have to wait until I venture back to the rural areas of our city to link up here :)
I wished that I lived in the country. I guess this means I should go visit the in-laws in the country to take some pictures...wait...nope. No way.
What a great idea for a photo challenge!! I'm also interested in old gates and hinges too.
i added your button to my meme tab and linked in. :)
what a great photo again. Also what a super idea.

Hello Nancy... I found you through sweet Jill at Chillin' With Jill... I am signing on as your newest follower... I have always lived in a little rural town and the country life has been the only way of life I have ever known (and love!) and post about it often...I will so enjoy visiting your party participants... your photo is just fabulous!... I will visit often... xoxo Julie Marie
Neat idea Nancy :)
Fantastic weekly blog party, Nancy, & will definitely fit great w/ my barn shots! =)
Very good photography.
Regards and best wishes
Love that shot of the gate! I'm glad you are hosting this. You can never have enough farm blog hops!
I might even have to link up if the human will let me. :-)
i forgot i had this ;)))))
I'm very excited to be a part of all this amazing creativity. Thanks!
That shot speaks country to me. And the bloghop looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to next week.
love the depth of field in your image (of course!) :)
thanks for hosting!

beautiful as always. Sadly, I live in an urban area, but I did grow up in VERY rural IA!
I love that gate. Thanks for hosting this hop. It'll be fun seeing where and how everyone lives. God bless.
Nancy, love your blog header; it's beautiful! thanks for inviting me to the blog hop party; I'm late but here, finally!
Hi, thanks for hosting! I love seeing what other homesteaders are up to. :)
This sounds like a fun meme...I do have lots of rural pics so I will keep this in mind n post from my other blog...since I host FF on my main one!
This is such a great idea. I'm excited to participate and to find new sites with like interests. Thanks so much.
Happy groundhog day! sandie
cool idea...I feel like I live in the country in the middle of the city...does that count?
I love this shot - fabulous perspective!!
Wow. I love your shot and it looks like you have some wonderful participants. I will have to see more tomorrow.
Oh my, I just finished working my way through all the blogs. What great fun you've provided. Thanks so much for doing this.
If all goes well, I should start in the very near future an endeavor on natural farming here at Panglao Island, Bohol in the Philippines; thus, I'll be able to make regular contributions to the group of whatever insight I gain from such.
Thank you so much for visiting my site.
Love the perspective in that photo.
And now you make me wish I had a homestead... ;)
I'm late, Nancy...but I was gone all day. A husband-chauffeured photo drive made it possible for me to take part in Rural Thursday. Thanks!
Love the artistic shot!!
I'll be putting this on my list of new memes. :)
A beautiful, subtle photograph. I love the colour, the texture and the contrast between the clarity of the gate and the softness of the green grass.
sound interesting!
lots of rural places to visit during the weekend : )
great fence. i love it!! the colors there... are cool. thanks, for the link up ... fun! (:
wonderful perspective
I love the rust
Nice showing for your first hop! I hope to join in the fun when things at work slow down to a dull roar.
Back with Friday's Fences... I took a similar photo on my little drive yesterday: my gate(s) are green. I truly need to work on a macro shot, though.
great fence and gate photo for Friday Fences. I'll see about participating in your Rural Thursday blog hop next week.
I like your fence photo (very rustic) and hope to pop by the other enteries. We "city" folk get our dose of country the easy way...viewing your photos!
Good turnout! If my mother wasn't in the hospital, I'd make the rounds to visit; maybe next time. :)
Thank you for hosting!! Rural living and agriculture are so important!
Love the depth of field in your photo as well as the color tones...nice!
Apparently I have committed a grave mistake by linking several posts to Rural Thursday, although I didn't notice any cautionary notes about linking only once. (The warning may be there; I'm just unable to see it.) I apologize to all participants who feel overwhelmed by my multiple links, and ask the blog hosts to please remove all my links but one--or all of them, if they prefer. After all, it's their blog! Thank you.
So sad I missed this! I'll link up next time for sure :D Posts about my horse count, right?!
Thanks for letting this fellow join!
Really great pic of the old gate!
