Though you may tire of seeing barns on this blog,
I never tire of photographing them. All of these beauties are no more than a twenty-minute's drive from my farm.
From the ones that seem to sink behind the wildflowers,
to the ones the perch so perfectly on a hillside, they never bore me.
Sometimes it is the old tractor sitting in the barn that really catches my eye.
The old, haggard ones always draw a bit of love from me.

ReplyDeleteQuite interesting to photograph !
ReplyDeleteoh i love that one with the wild flowers...ha, now i have that song in my head!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of beautiful barns. They have such character.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm a l-o-n-g way from being fed-up of viewing your barns. They speak to my heart.... <3
ReplyDeleteenjoy the photos, really nice...also love the Johnny Carson quip and the music.
ReplyDeleteI love the blog title! I love barns too, but it seems like they are disappearing in my neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteLove the one in the wildflowers...could easily be a framed picture.
ReplyDeleteI like them too. There's something irresistible in all that weathered wood.

ReplyDeleteExcellent barns!
ReplyDeleteIt's like watching part of my past disappear back into Mother Earth!
ReplyDeleteA sad sort of beauty...thank you for loving them and photographing them! Most of the barns are gone in the rural part of Virginia where I lived and grew up!
Lucky you to have all these great barns so close to your home. We also have lots of charming barns near our home too! Outstanding shots!
ReplyDeleteLove how the "seam" in the middle of that top barn looks fringed!
ReplyDeleteI don't get tired of seeing them, I love them too. Reminds me of growing up in the midwest just north of KC, Mo..
ReplyDeletejust beautiful! (and i wish you'd link in to Barn Charm with them!)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Brilliant lead in!
ReplyDeleteNo way: barns are so unusual here, even in the countryside, that you can post how many you wishes without boring me!
ReplyDeleteNice captures!
ReplyDeletePlease don't ever stop photographing barns:)
ReplyDeleteMy husband knows that my greatest wish is to live in an old converted barn. His greatest wish it to not live in an old converted barn.
ReplyDeleteI love old barns too. Tobacco barns like the one you have pictured are becoming scarcer.
ReplyDeleteI love barns too and it seems that at least around here where I live, they are going away faster than they are being built back again. They get old and crumbly and then eventually they fall down. I have some photos of some that I have taken throughout the years and they no longer exist. You are capturing a bit of history there and documenting it. And isn't there something soothing and peaceful about them? They seem to point to a time in our history where things seemed a bit more less hectic, calm, less stressed. But, maybe not. Maybe life was harder then but we just think it might not have been.
ReplyDeleteI love barns too. I'm a child of farming grandparents from Oklahoma. My parents both eschewed the farm life and moved us to Oregon. I think it was in my genes, though, as when my husband and I found a place to live when we had our young children, it was an acreage, then we moved up to a 5 acre old farm place. My husband has built 2 barns.. and he finally painted this one red at my urging and I adore it!!
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Great shots, but now I totally have that song stuck in my head!!! LOL

I could never tire of your pictures of old barns. I got some good pictures of tobacco barns on my trips to KY. Also lots of barns with barn quilts. I love old barns too. Wish I had more of your skill with the camera though.

The "wildflower" barn is lovely and is that tobacco hanging in the second to the last photo? I love the silhouette you captured and the barbed wire fence in the last... you have done a very nice job here.
ReplyDeleteYour opening line made me smile ... I love big butts, ah... barns. hahaha And I was so like Carson on this one. Smoke? No. Look at dirty mags? No, Kiss the girls? ... Ya, I wish! I'm still grinning.

ReplyDeleteWonderful style as always. I never tire at looking at these wooden barns. My favourite has to be the barn with the field of wildflowers.
