Barns and Cattle

New York is full of interesting barns and photogenic cattle...

I'm gonna be like you when I grow up, Mamma.


Following the leader.


Wonderful patterns on this face.



I feel like I could just stare into her eyes all day.


 The Long View Barn
This is so well manicured. You can tell it is well loved.

The Seen Better Days Barn
Still hauntingly beautiful.


Tiny Herd Barn
At least they have a lot of room inside. Just kidding.  It was a nice looking place.

Quite an Impressive Barn
Now this is a serious barn.


The Very Close to the Road Barn
I've noticed that barns and homes are often very close to the road in this state.  Much closer than I am used to seeing...

Tiny house, huge silo?
This is just a trick of perspective, of course.  The house sits below this barn and silo.  I think this is the one we can see on the horizon from Dot's back yard.

The Breeden Barn
Well, it just hurts to see Grandma's barn in this shape. I remember playing in it as a child. It is a shadow of the glory days.
 No one lives here or uses the barn anymore. 
We prowled around inside and my camera battery died.  I managed to snap a few photos of the silos with my phone.


I couldn't see up into the silos so I just stuck my hand in as far as I could and took the photos. I didn't know it would be this colorful.



Let's see what else we can find on this trip...

  1. You should do a watercolor of the cows/barn. I didn't know you got pics of the silos--those are really neat.

    1. It was so dark inside the barn. I could have had some cool photos around the windows but I didn't keep track of the darn camera battery level. I finally remembered my phone camera. Bill went with me to get the silo photos because I probably would have gotten lost in the darkness!
