Kentucky barns, part 1

      I'm so glad to be able to continue with my blog.  It's all so easy, for now.  

     I have wanted to gather up many of my barn photos to share.  Most of them are from my county (Elliott) or nearby counties.  I am fascinated by how even the most basic of barns can be intriguing depending on the season, the weather, its age, its use, etc.  I'll have some goats and donkeys in my next post. For now, it is mostly just the housing... and tobacco barns, rarely used anymore.

closer up, the Binion barn, photo made at dawn, back in the days when I did that to get a photo....

a wonderful example of an early tobacco barn, which unfortunately was damaged by the Morgan County tornado which did so much damage -- particularly in West Liberty

  

two seasons, twice decorated, a barn not in use at this time, formerly had horses and hay

without a shadow of doubt.... just a shadow....

I once had a very special April day, on Wendell Berry's farm, where he gave me permission to take some outdoors photos while I was there.  This land is loved and cared for.

I like these last two photos because of their blocks of light and the colors!

  I will have more barn photos on my next post in two weeks. 

 I hope everyone is staying healthy and preparing to vote for the truth tellers. We don't need cruel and heartless in our efforts to have a more functional nation. It's interesting how the Queen's passing, the reminders of the twin towers, and the piles of legal issues to be sorted through including false tales are each reaching out to us simultaneously.  Reach out and be good to your friends and family.

Thanks for stopping by.   Ann
