This barn was found along the highway just the other day while I was actually looking for bald eagles. I didn't find any bald eagles on this run, but I was glad to see a few barns. This oldie is just basically a shell now, and doesn't it kind of look like it's awaiting demolition?
Speaking of bald eagles, my husband was just telling me that he saw one flying overhead today (it's Monday as I write this) carrying a squirrel. I'd love to know where the nest is!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...
A sad picture, to be sure. Too bad your husband didn't have a camera, that must have been an awesome sight!
ReplyDeleteSuch huge openings! It's definitely looking worn and weary, but it's still got some beauty to it--a wonderful find! :>)
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to see. It was a beauty in it's time.
ReplyDeleteI've also started photographing the old barns....I'm afraid in the very near future, they will all be torn down, leaving us with just the shiny new metal barns.
ReplyDeleteMorning Cheryl, love that old barn, if it could talk, many stories I`m sure....Love to see the Eagles......Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteLovely old barn! Hope you get a shot of the eagle.
ReplyDeleteOh please do keep looking for those bald eagles. :-)
ReplyDeleteDoes look like the barn is ready for demolition. I remember a few years ago, there was a huge eagle's nest located next to one of our major roads in the area. The state blocked off certain areas near that nest and signs were posted to protect that area. Huge fines if anyone was caught in that area. As you can see....we don't see them often around here. Hope you find the nest and can get some great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day.
The basic frame of the barn looks very sturdy. Someone could have a very nice barn with a little TLC
ReplyDeleteIt is such a grand barn, too bad it didn't have more care. Glad you got a picture of it in case it isn't standing much longer. Have a nice day! Twyla
ReplyDeletei like the barn and it doesn't look sad to me, it looks like a grand old lady of a barn, and the animals can still take shelter under that old roof. i wish our Eagles would come get our squirrels, and leave the birds alone.
ReplyDeletejust kind of hanging on...

I hate seeing these old barns deteriorating. It must have been a great barn in it's day.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters have been seeing lots of eagles. I need to go on a hunt.
Don't you just wonder all the "happening" that occurred in that old barn...I am sure she was a grand dame in her day.....
ReplyDeleteWow Cheryl... That was a beautiful barn at one time... Sad to see it in such dis-repair... Hope someone 'saves' it....
ReplyDeleteWish I would see an eagle. I have lots of squirrels it can HAVE... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
What a beauty this has been in its day!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looks like the owner has lost interest in keeping that barn but it does make for a good picture.
ReplyDeleteThat old barn still has a whole lot of charm! Wouldn't it be fun if you found the nest?
ReplyDeleteLove the barn. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt still is a beauty. I wish it didn't have to come down but you know it will. So sad. But I bet it has many stories to tell. MB
ReplyDeletewow, lots of places to air out in that barn. such a neat barn.
ReplyDeletewe have bald eagles flying by all the time in the back yard. they are gorgeous. & their call is beautiful. ( :
have an awesome week.
A very charming, old barn. I wish we could save them all.
ReplyDeleteA bald eagle spotting would have been quite the sight. But the old barn has charm.
ReplyDeleteCan't you just imagine a barn dance back in the day? I love seeing Bald Eagles. Love, love, love them!
ReplyDeleteIt does look abandoned.
ReplyDeleteI hope whoever tears it down, recycles that beautiful lumber!
Great barn! It always hurts my heart when they come down. How cool to see a eagle carrying it's dinner! I would love to see that.
ReplyDeletenicely ventilated!!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the beauty of this building in it's day. Still looks solid.
ReplyDeleteit really does look to be awaiting demo, looks like they've cleared it out. i really wish they wouldn't do that, it's so beautiful & they're on (my) endangered list... I'd have a heyday exploring inside!
ReplyDeletethanks for joining, Cheryl =)
I actually love the really old barns that don't look like they are going to stand for long. I loved this one.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs!
How great that barn must have looked it's day.....The framing still looks straight and solid. Too bad someone couldn't bring it back to its former glory, but I know that's an expensive proposition.
