Barn Charm #69

Last week I began a series of seasonal photos of a group of barns

that are in my favorite photo-taking area out west of my small town.

Barn Charm # 68 featured them in the snow that enveloped us a month ago.

Last Saturday I took a drive hoping to see signs of spring.

What I found instead, was still the brown tinges of remaining winter.

However, I snapped away.

These were taken March 30th.

This is my favorite barn of all that are around here.

It has an Ohio State emblem on the other side 

and a buckeye (our state's nut).

I rarely am able to get a photo of it for a variety of reasons.

It always amazes folks as to how close it is to the road.

I got a first-hand experience with that closeness

as I saw this beauty.

If I had opened my passenger door,

I would have been almost touching the fence with it.

I was so close that it was difficult to get a photo of the doorway 

to the little one's home.

It was a busy day out there and a car came up behind me.

I pulled forward and over a tiny bit (all that I could manage).

I waved him around and then saw that the farmer

was standing back 'a ways' looking indignant and wary.

I then realized he had seen my car come down the hill 

and realized it had stopped by his colt/pony (?).

So I waved and hurried on my way.

(My camera's battery had run out right then too.)

I was unable to get a shot of the 4th barn in the series

as it was across from this one

and there was a group of folks standing in the homestead's yard

close to it.

I will venture out again this weekend as it is supposed to go up in temps

and perhaps some green will be coaxed out to herald in spring.

Meanwhile, hop on over to Tricia's place

and check out more barns.
