Town Barn

For two years I've been driving past this newer barn in Estes Park and have always wanted to photograph it. 
Today was the day -- 50 degrees, sunny and calm. 
A perfect photographic day. 

The barn stands alone close to downtown, across from one of the resorts, and is surrounded by cabins. I've never, ever seen activity at this place. 



Hubby says it was built by a local engineer for his family, and there may have been horses there at one time. 
It's been well maintained. 
I think this pretty barn might 
make a great residence.

Blessings,

Nancy

Sunday Share - Just Playin' Around


It's been such a go-go-go week that I'm devoting today to rest. But I still want to join in the blog fun so I played around with a photo I took on the way home from church. With Picasa and Picknik editing I took the original photo below and increased the shadow, then brightened the image and tinted it. Maybe I did some other things -- who knows? I can't remember all 
that when I'm just foolin' around. . 
Kinda fun.




This is the original photo. 
Our neighbor left her sprinkler on all night. The water froze on her bush and created an ice sculpture. We still have freezing temperatures here at night. 
After all, we live above 7,000 feet.

Hope you're having a restful Sunday, too. 
We all need to turn down the volume now and then.

Blessings,

Nancy
