This barn shot was taken over the weekend not too far from home. I didn't notice what was sitting on top until I was looking at the shots on my computer.
I still couldn't tell what they were until I enlarged this photo and saw the bald heads...turkey vultures. These are SOOC shots as I haven't had time to do much online lately. This old charmer doesn't look like it will stand much longer.
Recently I've driven by 2 barns that I've shown in the past year that have already been torn down and they were in much better shape than this one. One of them was replaced with the new metal variety and, of course, it's not nearly as charming as the old barn was.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...
what a great find...one good gust of wind and that babies gone!!
ReplyDeletethey look like vultures!!
Vultures waiting for the barn to die. So sad. I have never understood why people let big barns just fall down... just some wood and nails here and there through the years could have saved it. Ownership is daily repairs sometimes. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletelooks like those buzzards are waiting for the barn to die... when i saw the first photo, i thought I will huff and i will puff and i will blow your house down, in this case barn down... it would not take much. that said it is charming.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Barn Charm,,,what a great gem you found, and not far from home!! Good shot!
ReplyDeleteit's a beauty - even better with the vultures perched...
ReplyDeleteThat one does look like it's not long for this world. Do you make calendars or things out of your barn pics? I bet they'd be pretty popular, though I'm guessing you've already thought that at some point too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is a beautiful barn let me rephrase that it was probably a Magnificent barn and now the turkey vultures seem to know what is ahead and they wait. Sad but it seems to be the way it is now. Great shots. B
ReplyDeleteThe turkey vultures on the roof really set a mood for the photo. I suspect this barn will have difficulty making it through much of a storm. You got some great shots, though.
ReplyDeletedon't you love it how you zoom in & find things that you would never seen if you had never zoomed. love it!! great finds. ( :
ReplyDeleteSo sad that the old barns get dozed. I believe it's important we capture them when we can. These are great, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteJust wonder what those two old buzzards are up to? This old barn thrills my heart!! Enjoyed seeing it!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl I love the barn and it was a wonderful addition when you discovered the Vultures on top of it. Margaret
ReplyDeleteNo---I don't care for the metal barns.. They definitely are not as charming as the older ones... Hope someone will fix this one up--without tearing it down... The buzzards obviously like that vantage point!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I love the way you photographed this old barn through the trees and the flowering bushes in front. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh my the first shot, framed by the trees, stunning!!! Poor barn! I got a laugh from Sandra's comment, yes, it does look like they are waiting for the barn to die!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great old barn but so sad looking too. And those ugly old vultures kind of go with the sad looking barn. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I absolutely LOVE old barns. When I went back to the farm I grew up on this past winter all the barns were gone. They said the big barn there was being built when they got news Lincoln had been shot...and they all took off on horses in different directions to spread the word. I wish I had taken more pictures of it- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove the photo. So sad to see that they are in such disarray.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great barn find. It looks neat with the vultures on the roof. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I really like the way you framed the first shot with the trees and how cool that you captured those turkey vultures.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the barn but those turkey vultures are something else.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Hate that it is in such sad shape.
ReplyDeleteGood that you captured this barn before it's gone. I have a couple like this to post, I just have to find them and I don't have the patience right now. So many barns and old houses being torn down.
ReplyDeleteSure is a charmer...hope they don't tear it down until you take it's picture in every season.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo should be framed! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful old barn! Makes you wonder if the turkey vultures are just waiting for the barn to fall down so they can find some dinner.
ReplyDeleteI've been out of "circulation" for a while, but nice to see your blog is as lovely as ever! I see 10 to 15 of these vultures on my way to work everyday, all gathered together in a and around an isolated stand of trees. Kind of creepy! Great shots today though... As well as the landscape shots in your prior post...
ReplyDeleteSome day in the distant future, someone will be traveling around taking pictures of rusted barns. It will not be nearly as interesting nor hold the nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteIt does look a bit fragile at this point, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAwesome barn!!! The vultures are an added bonus!
ReplyDeleteThat top picture is absolutely lovely Cheryl! All that GREEN surrounding that sweet charming barn!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I like these old barns. I think they have a story to tell. I loved this one.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
