The Barn

A reader asked if my header photo was taken by me.

Yes it was.

We were staying at a Bed & Breakfast in October and I was meandering down a gravel road behind the Inn at sunrise and much to my delight I found this barn.





The sun was hitting the field grasses just right.



I am ready to photograph barns, churches, and old buildings again.

Spring please get here.



grace surrounds us

  4. You certainly captured those images in a wonderful light, Olive. Oh, I am so with you on this one - please let Spring not be late this year!! I am finding it very difficult to get motivated to do very much at all at the moment. The weather is SO dreary here in England this weekend :( I do count my blessings, of course, but it would be wonderful to have some brighter days!

  9. As much as I love these photos (and I do love 'em), I think I love the word meandering just a tad bit more. Conjures up beautiful images in my mind of you capturing these shots of prairie grass seemingly on fire.

  11. This is beautiful Olive. I love the header. Isn't morning light wonderful!

    The kids were at the lake last Fall when J and I left the condo before daylight, to catch that first light. They could not believe we were getting out that early. It was a wonderful adventure and a great photo op.:-)

  21. Your header photo is one of my favorites. Love how the light plays on the grass. It's very ethereal.

  22. Olive, your photograph reminds me of the house my grandparents lived in (with their large family) in Missouri. It is long gone, but a painting of it by a family member hangs in my dad's house. A beautiful photograph! Thank you!

  23. Wow! I love your header and barn pictures. I have lots of barn pictures on film from when I used to live in New England. I absolutely love barns.
    I just read your chicken salad recipe and think I will have to try it this week. It looks delicious.
    Hope you are having a great weekend.

  30. I thought of you
    last Thursday when
    I pulled over to
    take a pic of a
    wonderful blueish-
    grey barn....With
    all the snow, it
    came out a little
    over exposed, but
    I think it might
    be cool with some
    textures, etc....
    Oh, I hear you
    about SPRING!!
    Happy Monday, T!
