Barn Charm - Amish Community


We're in the Amish community again this week for Barn Charm.  I have a lot of barns from that visit, so I hope you don't tire of seeing them!
 

Horses are also plentiful in that community.  Aren't they beautiful?
 

I think they were posing just for me!  

I spotted what I think are pigeons as they landed on the roof of this barn and thought it was worthy of a quick point, zoom and shoot.  

There are more scenes from the Amish community to come in the next couple of weeks.  If you ever get a chance to visit, don't forget to stop at an Amish bakery.  Their fried pies are out of this world!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...

    We live near the Amish and I always get some great shots. They sure are beautiful work horses, what a big barn they must have a big farm.

    What is not to enjoy about these beautiful pictures. I like the way that the barn loft door flops down and the horses do look beautiful and as if they are posing. Let's skip over fried pies as I might think I should give it a whirl. Ha!

    You are my second blog buddy in Amish country, the other one is in Pennsylvania. I envy you both.
    Those horses are just beautiful. Wonder why the huge flock of pigeons?

    Oh my word, look at ALL the pigeons! That is a really wonderful red barn! Look how the hay loft door drops down. I never realized they did that. (You are probably laughing... I'm such a city girl.)

    So relaxing and scenic here. If I' m not mistaken those horses are the lovely Haflinger breed.

    Hi Cheryl!

    I never get tired of your barn photos! The Amish, really do have a talent when it comes to barns, they are just beautiful!

    I had to look really hard at the posing horses! I thought there was only two for a minute, and I couldn't figure out where that,"other", leg was coming from!! I need to pay closer attention, or get better glasses... ;0)

    Fun post!

    Hugs,
    Barb
