Old Barn Love

Painting by Georgia O'Keefe

Somewhere in the Southwest

You probably don't know that I have old barn love.

When I see an old barn along the road I try to scream "stop"

to my driver, as I need, I must snap a picture and savor for a few moments.

It doesn't always work to be able to stop, but the ones here worked.

There was a place along the road to stop and snap away.

I was walking behind my "niece" on her property when I snapped the one above.

It is an old hops barn that she is hoping to revive and rent out for weddings.

I think she has barn love too.

This one was a quick stop on Whidbey Island.

I love seeing nature growing up to capture these old barns.

This was a quick snap as my "driver" drove by.

These were found on the island too.

Now the one right below I saw every time I drove south of Portland.

One day I pulled off the freeway and got up close and snapped a picture.

For some reason I felt like it was haunted, there was just something about it.

I am so glad I captured the picture because now it is gone.

The barn below was a quick snap from the car in Idaho.

And this final barn was found recently while bird watching on Sauvie Island.

I loved old barns even as a child.

When I would visit my uncle I would hang out in his barn watching him milk cows

or climbing on hay bales. 

There would be treasures to find there, memories are treasures.

Old barns just delight my heart.

Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn. Hesiod

The Greek poet Hesiod once said: 
Do not let a flattering woman coax and
wheedle you and deceive you;
she is after your barn.

This just made me smile.

Happy weekend, dear friends!

Hoping to go out exploring this weekend.
