A very pretty barn appears abandoned with no signs of activity, or maintenance.

I love these old sheds/barns. I have one in mind to take as well. Nice 🙂

    Yes, exactly my point. To catch a glimpse of the past is to see the road to now.

Another great photo that intrigues me. I lean forward to the screen wondering what lies beyond the partially open sliding door. Good morning Mike and Pumpkin too. 🙂

  Pumpkin says woof, and my sweet Judy says “what am I, chopped liver?” No, she didn’t say that, that’s what makes her sweet.
  The barn, yes, what does lie beyond the door. Perhaps I’ll go take a peek, it’s not very far from me. If I suddenly stop blogging, then you know I have been pulled into that barn. That being the case, I enjoyed our interactions.

    Mike perhaps Pumpkin can sniff it out before you leap right in with the goblins. Good morning to sweet Judy as well!

I am so intrigued by your photos. You have a knack for presenting a mostly black and white photo with 1 colour featured – in this case the green. It makes your photos so striking.

  That is nice to hear Joanne. Sometimes this slight coloring works better than others. Glad you like this. Thanks.

I love that the picture is almost black and white and the grass looks like spot color. Well done! I think it’s time for me too to go out and hunt for barns too. You just reminded me!

Mike, I was out on the new bike today (yes! out on the new bike today!), riding with friends along the Blue Ridge Parkway and it’s adjacent roads and towns, and I saw a barn that I know you would have loved! Sadly, I could only look and remember as I rode by, as I had to keep up with my buddies.
I decided that if I’d had time to stop and shoot it, I would have named the post “The One’s For You, Mike”.
