Barn Charm


This old barn looks like it's about to collapse, but I think it still has a little bit of charm.  My daughter snapped these photos with my camera while I was driving through the countryside recently.  She's not a back-seat driver, but I was definitely a back-seat photographer!
    

I may have said to her, "Be sure you get the horses in the picture, too!"


Then I suggested a zoom-in on the horses, who were beginning to move away from the intruders in the car with a camera pointed at them.  While she was snapping away, I was watching the rear-view mirror for cars.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...

    Super barn charm! Just super!

    So glad your daughter takes such good photography direction.

    I'd hate to have missed this barn. And these horses. :-)

    Beautiful photos. The horses are so pretty and that barn is very rustic in it's falling down state. Glad you stopped on the road for these ones! Have a great day! Pam

    That barn is the poster child for being on its last legs. The shiny replacement barn is in view. Kind of sad.

    Umm, I'm thinking a barn implosion is probably going to be happening in the near future! I see the new one in the far field. Nice shots!

    That sounds like the way we do photos sometimes - though it is me with the camera and Don watching for traffic.

    Great shots - she did wonderfully.

    Too funny about back seat photographer. I'm the same way. Jim will take some pictures for me and then I take them from my vantage point. You know, just in case he didn't see what I did. Daughter did a wonderful job of capturing that poor charmer.

    Oh Nooooooooooooooo!!! This one is so bad that it looks like an art project of some kind. YES, with the horse in front is perfect, I love the black eye on the one horse. You win the prize for the most pathetic barn EVER!!!

    Wow, those are great shots of the barn and horses. I must say you may have taken them just at the right time. A slight wind and the barn is toast.
    Blessings!

    Looks like this barn was a real charmer in its hay day. You think someone would do some repairs on it.
