What a neat old barn we found. Still being used by evidence of cows in the pasture around it.

All I can say it is difficult to deal with change. This new Blogger format is not as user friendly in my opinion. I guess I will get us...
Cool barn. Makes a really great picture.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's cows you found, and not cow pies, that's good! :) Did you end up drawing the barn, then?
ReplyDeleteVery few of these round barns still exist; you were very lucky to find this one, Lisa! One of the original round barns around here was turned into a restaurant some years ago--a fun place to dine.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky, and I love the barn. Is that considered a 'round' barn? There are a few around here. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA one hundred and one year old farm! Lisa the barn is wonderful...I don't think I've actually seen one just photos. Love the sky. gail
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to come across such a wonderful barn. Will we see the sketches? I noticed the date on the barn and it was built in the same era as the labor issues I wrote about. Life was hard for farm workers, too; but there were advantages to living in the country at least.
ReplyDeleteYes Monica, I did draw the barn.
ReplyDeleteI will probably post it on my other blog.
Rose, lets do lunch there sometime.
Nan, yes, I call this a round barn. No corners here. A wonderfully kept barn.
ELW, I hadn't thought about the dates coninciding. You are right. Farmers often raised their own workers. :/ I will probably post my sketches this weekend on Artsy.
That is one unique barn!
ReplyDeleteGreat sky Lisa, but I must admit that I like the pic of the barn even more. It's so unlike any barns we have here. Beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteBTW I've been admiring your artwork at Frances's blog. ;-)
It looks great against the sky. I wonder what a round barn looks like inside?
ReplyDeleteFourwinds, I have only been inside one round barn (not this one) I was a little disappointed to find that it looked like most other barns with stalls built for livestock, tack rooms. You forget you are in a round barn when inside. I don't know what I expected but not the feel of a regular barn since the outside is so curious.
ReplyDeleteThat barn is a gem! There used to be a round barn near here, but it got moved to make way for development (boo!).
ReplyDeleteI love barns too Lisa & the photo of the round barn is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Such a cool barn. We have some in Wisconsin also and I think they are just so interesting. Thanks for posting the photo.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful barn shot. I like your landscapes.
ReplyDeleteI love old barns! What a treasure to find this one!
ReplyDeleteThat barn is wonderful, and it's in such good repair.
ReplyDeleteWe used to see one that shape on the drive over to Hubby's sister's house, but when we went to the family picnic we noticed it had been torn down. How sad.
We see old cars around here too, and like you, I love them. I'm always taking photos of them :)
Those are some beauties.
You found lots of things to photograph on your trip to the birding area. Love that bee shot! Sorry I don't know the name of your wildflower.
That IS a neat barn, and beautiful blue skies too. Have a great weekend Lisa. :c)
ReplyDeleteGreat sky, and I love that barn. We have one similar close to me in Wimberley, Texas. They have turned it into an Antique Store...great place to poke around on a Saturday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa....that is a lovely old barn....fabulous shape....did you sketch it?....looks like the perfect subject to me.....
ReplyDeletePretty sky.....
Oh round barns are just the best! Did you make some sketches of it? Better go check your other blog so as not to embarrass myself! :-)
ReplyDeleteFrances
Never photographed the skies.
ReplyDeleteCan be so interesting and mysterious. Maybe I should.
I love the history of the round barns. This one looks as if it has been well cared for. As we travela bout the country I sometimes see them. I think I saw a couple in Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful sky too!

A few of those old barns left around here. Years ago I saw a book of old round barns. Wonderful photos. Wouldn't it be fun to set off across the country taking pictures of round barns?

I love the round barn and actually have a painting of one on my wall. Clouds are dreamy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer dear friend. I recently took some photos of a similar barn and was told it is of Amish design.
ReplyDeleteHarvest time in my neck of the woods so stop by sometime to see what is canning.

That barn is the best! We lived near an old German farm when I was growing up. Those round barns are extremely cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteA very fine bard and sky above.
