Mid February

 Barn and chicken coop

Still winter here. The only noticeable sign of spring is the daylight hours that are becoming longer. That's a major plus as far as I'm concerned.

Some of you may recognize this barn and chicken coop as I have photographed them many times and posted them more than once. I like the weathered boards, the barn's stone foundation, the missing doors and boards on both, the chicken coop out in front facing the road and, this week, the snow on the roofs.

 Snow on fence and spruce trees

 Snow caught in pine needles

Somebody's home

I'm not sure who lives here but whoever it is wanted a bigger entrance way and is willing to do the reno.

    Maybe a squirrel wanted a new home? Great shots as always.

    I love that old barn! It's a beauty with it's weathered wood and stone foundation. I think a squirrel probably chewed that birdhouse doorway wider. It's hard to believe it's mid-February already.

    Nice shots in the snow! I wonder what bird did that? No snow here, but an ice storm is reportedly on the way.

    I agree the long hours of daylight are the only redeeming qualities of winter right now with all the snow and 30 below zero wind chills.

    Great winter shots. Looks calm and quiet in your shots. The barn and chicken coop look unused. Love the green pine needles with snow.

    Do you want to know one of the main reasons I like opening your posts? Because so many times, while I sit here feeling all spent and sorry for myself, that my winter is getting to me, and then you present for us, lovely photos, from a wonderful-winter-wonderland.

    I like your winter photos. We have unusual winter, not so much snow as usually, and not so cold.

    I did recognize the barn and coop; it looks even more abandoned in the middle of all that winter. All your pictures are lovely though.

    Great scenes though you have my sympathy about your l-o-n-g winter. I can see why you return to this barn.
    I've been tracking sunrise and sunset times since the solstice. It's not dark here now until close to 6 p.m. It feels like we're finally getting some days of decent length again.

    It's so pretty in your neck of the woods. We are headed into an early spring. We've had temps in the 60's. That's so unusual for this time of year.

    Yes...longer days and some sunshine goes a long way to making me smile. I love old barns and wonder of their stories.. Hmmm..I am wondering what was trying to get into that nesting box. It is cold and it would be warmer in there...Michelle

    Beautiful winter scenes. I had small nesting boxes that woodpeckers enlarged but they weren't big enough for them. Next we put up larger ones for woodpeckers which the squirrels enlarged and took over. Prime real estate being taking over.
