Weathered Barns

 Barn and  crumbling silo

I sure was hoping by now to show you gorgeous crocuses coming up in my gardens, but if they are emerging they are doing it below the snow cover.  However,  these photos are an accurate reflection of what I am actually seeing these days.

The barn in the above photo appears to be in good shape but the silo....

 OOPS!

Kinda pretty frosted in snow

  1. It is not too often I see a silo with stone work in it. Most of them are pure concrete.

  10. The description of 'frosted in snow' is so fitting. The top barn, very pristine shape in its weathered look.

    Hope you see your crocus soon!!!!

  31. Such wintry splendour - so striking!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love structures like barns and silos. It's sad to see the second picture where it's all broken down. I hope it will get fixed in the summer. Beautiful soul-stirring pictures, at least to me.

  33. The snowy pictures are pretty,but I am ready to see Crocuses as well.

  34. Great shots. Love old barns and unique silos!

  35. The stone silos are so unusual for me to see. There are none like them around where we live. The barn with the snow is so pretty. There is just something special about all the white stuff and an old barn.

  36. Beautiful shots. That first one looks huge.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh my! I love these barn shots!! so pretty with the snow.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Old and crumbling, yet full of beauty! My post is on something similar.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Weathered barns are so beautiful! Great shots.

  40. I'm feeling as weathered as that barn, and about as strong as the collapsed building. Even given this comparison, as always, I take delight in your post

    ReplyDelete
  41. Shame you have no crocuses but just snow. Hope it warms up for you soon.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Beautiful old barns, and so melancholy in the snow and gray. I worry that they will only be seen in museums someday.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love the contrast between the weathered barn boards, and the white snow!!!
    But I could do without the snow...

  44. I love old barns and even the silo that has fallen down has its own appeal for me. I've always had a fascination with ruins. I remember an old house, in a fishing village that became a sailing village too, where my family had a vacation home when I was growing up. This old house was falling down and I loved it just the way it was. I was disappointed when someone bought it and restored it. Yep, I was a weird kid, even then I loved ruins.

  45. I really like these weathered barns -- it's too bad about the barn in your middle photo.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Nice! I like looking at old barns too.

  47. Kinda pretty frosted in snow . . . Yes! I enjoy looking at pretty snow photos like this so long as I don't actually have to experience it myself.
