Black and White Sunday
Life here at the farmette, featured in black and white today.
A perfect, swirly hay roll.
The equipment of our son's craftsman ways.
I feel like this picture could have been taken fifty years ago.
An old well, just down the hill from our farmhouse.
A Sycamore tree full of texture.
The remnants of the old spring house for our farm. Cold spring water is flowing from the right, inside corner. We have found many shards of ancient pottery, dishes, and pitchers here, through the years.

I have a particular fondness for stone walls, and I like the bark of that tree! Looks very pokey. I'd hate to be trying to climb that one.
ReplyDeleteLike the anvil shot.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am not a fan of B&W...
ReplyDeleteI love these farm images.
ReplyDeleteSomehow they're great in black-and-white.
Hard to pick a favorite, but I am drawn to that swirly hay roll.
Rick, I like the hay roll too. My husband thought it was strange to take a picture of it! lol
DeleteI love B & W and love the different textures in your shots
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of fabulous pictures. I like the black and white. I just rarely remember to choose that option.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I don't think of it too often myself!
Deletethese are pretty in b&w, the first 2 are treasures!!!!
ReplyDeletewonderful B&Ws
ReplyDeleteEspecially loved the tree.
ReplyDeleteLovely. And, such a very different "feel" to the images in b&w instead of color.
ReplyDeleteThe hay roll is a first ours are always in bales.
ReplyDeleteB&W always makes things clearer to me.

Wonderful set of impressions. And I'd rather be a lot of places rather than an empress of the world...
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful historical things on your farm! We have found some old bottles in the woods of our farmhouse.. love that. We visited Washington's "farm" and indeed, living there would have been amazing. We got to sit on his porch in big rocking chairs and enjoyed the same view he did of the Potomac River. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteTeresa, we have been to Mount Vernon a couple of times. Really just the quintessential American farm, don't you think?!
DeleteSuch a lovely series of shot, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteLove the black and whites. Love rocks and water especially.
ReplyDeleteI loved the series of photos. Well done! I hope you keep your finds from the old springhouse all together, it would make quite an interesting display.
ReplyDeleteJeannie Marie, we have kept all of the treasures from the spring house for the past 14 years we have been living here. We have a large basket of items.
Deleteawesome, old-fashioned goodness. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful images, Michelle. The sycamore bark is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteI love all these shots in black and white - can't even choose a favorite. I'm glad you're saving all those treasure.

Your photos are so touching and full of life. I was amazed at the splendor of tree texture.
ReplyDeleteI really like the remains of the spring house. Looks great in B&W!
