It is that time of the year :)

Happy Fence Friday Red Barn Green Sky

Happy belated Thanksgiving, flickr friends. The wedding is over...it was fantastic, and now onward to the holidays.

My brother painted the barn this fall after re-shingling looks pretty good for 100 years old

Have a great week!

Lake Benson Park, Garner, North Carolina.

During our power failure caused by Winter Storm Jonas, I decided I would rather be outside taking pictures than sitting inside being cold. Our fireplace could warm up one room to about 59 degrees! Our power was restored after two days. It was so nice to be warm again!

Another peek at Big Red, one of my favorite barns in southwest Missouri.

Stormy skies and a red barn...what more could you possibly want?

We often pass this beauty on road trips....is there anything better than a red barn? Maybe a red barn in a snowy scene!

One more barn. Some family’s pride and joy pictured in a old photograph and found in an album in the attic.

Red barn and oak tree with a coat of ice. Lake Benson Park, Garner, North Carolina. This is part of a photography series I have started of this old oak tree viewed at different seasons of the year. The title was chosen be my friend Suzanne, who wanted a framed print of this picture.

Just a little red barn on a country backroad....

Happy New Year!

May the warm winds of heaven

blow softly on your house

and may the Great Spirit

bless all who enter there

Here's the image taken about 5 minutes prior to the now removed "Under The Dome failed shot" * ...

Fortunately, we didn't get to experience that storm seen in the far distance!

According to my trusty weather app, it's 97F here in New York City and 88F in Houston. I thought we came back to escape the summer heat...

*I've decided to remove it for it's really not a good image, but I wanted to ask for your opinion. I'm sure whatever happened, it probably had to do with me and not the camera. Perhaps I really didn't open the window entirely? Both of us remembered it was opened, and if it wasn't, I would have realized it afterward and immediately opened it fully and to retake another photo. But, maybe.... hmmmm?!?

Past and Present

The barn on the right has had its day is the sun.

Still standing though_

Barn Swallows Series

Sometimes lately I go with my brother to get more reasonably priced smokes for him on First Nations not too far from Brantford ON. There are some lovely barns out there. I gave this a little extra pizzazz in Topaz. Nice rhyme.

Happy Slider Sunday

Various kinds of cladding appeared to be used to maintain the integrity of this older South Okanagan Barn.

Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.

Partially painted in Barn Red.

Mt. Baker sits behind a dairy farm next to the Red River Road. As we could predict, the name of the river next to Red River Road is Lummi River. It makes perfect sense!

Awake! arise! the hour is late!

Angels are knocking at thy door!

They are in haste and cannot wait,

And once departed come no more.

Awake! arise! the athlete's arm

Loses its strength by too much rest;

The fallow land, the untilled farm

Produces only weeds at best.

― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

HFF!

Zoom in and look at all the details :)

Couldn't imagine anything more perfect than living in this converted HISA barn, in idyllic countryside with cute highland cows.

Could be an old framed photo found on the attic floor...Uncle Sanford’s old place? Grandpa’s barn? Sadly, no one seems to remember....

Yes, you’ve seen it once before from a different angle. This fall, it’s in a little worse condition. The holes are bigger, the roof sags a little more. How many more autumns does it have? I’ll keep you posted....

. . . and the turkeys thought they were "safe" . . . I didn't have the heart to tell them Christmas is just around the corner . . .

One of my favorite barns in the area...and this time with sun-dappled hay bales! Bring on winter; they’re ready!

This, too, was a bright, sunny day, but because of the angle that I was able to capture this, it turned out alright! Nothing like a bright, red barn against the bright, white snow! Hope you like it!
