Barely There Barn


I'm joining Barn Charm today.

Dennis and I love barns. The older, the better. This may not be everyone's idea of a barn worth photographing, but we flipped out when we saw it outside of Lyons, Colorado. I'm sure at some point it will wind up in a Dennis Reinke painting. 

Thanks to Tricia @ Bluff Area Daily for hosting Barn Charm. If you like barns, then hop on over to her site and check out the blogs linked there. Wonderful photographs of barns await you.

"Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"

  1. I agree, the older the better!! This is a beauty but in desperate need of some love. How fun it would be to buy it and refurbish it. Thanks for stopping and leaving a sweet comment!!

    1. Thanks, Debbie. I think this barn will probably just keep decaying. A shame.

    1. Yup. It needs some work. But then again, it would not be the same barn.

  4. Without some attention, your old barn will soon be a pile of old rubble.

    So many (too many) have already gone that route.

  6. Yes. I would be afraid to walk inside for fear the roof would fall on me.

  9. Funny - at first glance it looks like part of the roof is completely gone and we are looking "through" it. I love old, old barns.

    1. You're right. At first we thought the roof was gone.

  13. How very, very kind you were in your comments on my blog today! I appreciated everything so much! I am not a photographer (and I can see that you definitely are!) but I paint, so maybe what I lack in equipment, expertise and skill in photography, I make up for with a good eye. :-) I just noticed that your husband is the artist of the painting on your sidebar! He is wonderful!

    I am sure my hubby is going to be fine. I am glad to hear that your husband is a cancer survivor. I know how thankful you must be! Thanks again for all of your very encouraging words. Have an awesome week!
