This barn sits close to the abandoned house that I posted a few days ago. The vines are slowly taking over this one too, but not nearly as fast as the house.

This is a spring take on the same barn photographed after sunset almost three months ago:
A BEAUTIFUL BARN TAKES A WELL EARNED REST ON A DRY STONE WALL WHILE OUT HUNTING ON A BEAUTIFUL WINTERS MORNING
On the levels... This was taken back along. I've not had any luck with the barn owls for ages, but I spotted one a couple of nights ago on my way back from watching the starlings, so I'll be making it a project to bag it in the next few weeks. :@)
The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

The barn swallow is a true farmland bird, an aerial acrobat of the barnyard. Its nests are preferably built in barns, sheds, and similar structures where it can fly in and out. From April to October, it resides in the Netherlands and spends its winter in southern Africa. The barn swallow is blue-black above. Its forehead and chin are red; its breast band is black. The rest of the bird's body is creamy white. It flies nimbly through the air to catch insects. To drink, it flies just above the water's surface, occasionally dipping its beak into the water. It has a long, forked tail.
This Barn Owl recently had a successful evening catching voles in the fields behind our house. We saw it catch at least four in about 30 mins. The setting sun was only occasionally breaking through the clouds but I managed to capture this one in some decent light from our study window as it came within a reasonable distance of the house. If you look closely you can just make out blood stains on its beak.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
