Barn Charm.


This little barn/stable is a few minutes from our farm. 

There's a house and larger barn on the property, so it's still being 
used as it was intended many years ago, as evidenced by
the horse in the corral.

This is my last barn photo in the archives, so I'll
be needing to take a road trip soon.

To see other lovely barns from the U.S. and 
all over the world, visit Tricia's Barn Charm.

Also sharing with Homestead Barn Hop.

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.

  2. Whatever American barn you post I am sure I will be impressed as they all have an appeal of their own. Great one today and nearby your farm,how lucky is then?!

  14. I always love to see a horse next to a beautiful barn...just as it should be.
    We drove to Springfield last evening and there's some gorgeous barns around there. I noticed someone painted "life's a dance" on my favorite one. Very charming.

    Hope you weathered the storms alright.

  18. Your barn photos are all charming. I would think a road trip in Nebraska would be filled with barns...lots and lots of barns! So yes, saddle up your horse and go on a road trip.

  29. You are so right in your comment to me. I love to support my blogger friends too. Expecting another beautiful flower, I armed myself with my Thesaurus before I opened your blog. But what do I get? A lovely barn, almost in the Falu-red color with white trim that I just wrote about. And a sort of lonely looking horse. But now I'm ready with some new adjectives when the next bloom appears. You have a great weekend too.

  31. I really like your processing of this picture. It turned out beautifully, and the frame sets it off perfectly. I would love to know where you found that particular frame. I use some from CoffeeShop but have never seen one like this. It is really nice. genie

  39. Hi Nancy, just love the photo, in face I think you have a marvelous talent for taking great photos. I would love to learn, mine never turn out very well. I don't have a fancy camera, but I've seen photos taken off a camera like mine that are awesome. I love to visit and just see what you have to share. Love and Blessings!

  47. Nice one! Darn, what a shame you have to take a road trip. We're planning on doing that soon, but we won't be seeing many barns as we're thinking of driving into Denali Park. Hopefully we'll see some wildlife.
