From a country road...

First, I have a request: would you please check to see if you have the embedded comment on your blog...I have real problems with that because cannot comment without allowing 3rd party cookies and due to some problems I do not like to turn them on. I know I am not the only one having these problems, though I don't think all are due to the third party cookie issue.

To change your comment form:

Go to your dashboard
Click Settings
Click on Comments

and preferably Click the Pop-up one...

It is so convenient when I have not been able to blog. and there are a lot of posts I have missed. But even if you want the full page one, I can still comment with no problems. I for one would really appreciate this...and know a lot of people feel the same way.

This is another photo from somewhere in time...it looks a little tattered and worn.
I am linking it to Tricia's Barn Charm Meme...I for sure enjoy seeing all the barns there.

Drive-by shooting for Barn Charm

First I this little request: would you please check to see if you have the embedded comment on your blog...I have real problems with that because cannot comment without allowing 3rd party cookies and due to some problems I do not like to turn them on. Besides, I have been seeing a lot of people having trouble with them the past few days and it is not even related to the cookie thing.

Now to the business at hand.
This is a drive by shot, taken either in Wisconsin or Michigan a couple or three years ago.

Tennessee barn

Another barn from Tennessee....there is something about this that I really like. I think it has a dream like quality...almost.

Little cabin in the shade

I am not sure which caught my eye first: the tiny log cabin or the big weeping willow. I love both, but have no idea what the tiny cabin would be used for. It really is small. This was seen on Tennessee backroad.

Another quilt barn....

You can for sure tell this is a drive by....the motion shows more since it is out the side window...and you can see the reflection. I think this may be their attempt at the Turkey Tracks quilt block...that is what mom always called it. I have also seen it called Wandering Foot.

Grainy quilt barn....

This is a drive by I took on our way to Tennessee....here a week or so ago. I think it was taken from I-75. Also, go here and see the one Lois took just a bit after I took mine. Hers is much better quality if you click and enlarge them both. It is not quite midway down on that page. I saw her post, and thought boy that looks familiar...so went and check my photos and there my version was. I sent her a copy of mine...you look close to see that they are taken at slightly different angles.

Drive-by of barn

We passed this barn today...no place convenient to pull off so just snapped this as we drove by. I keep my camera on shutter priority, and usually have the shutter speed at 320 or 400, and adjust everything else accordingly.

Between the lines

This is a drive-by shot...a little blurry...but I still like the quilt block that is on it.

Old mill in Cumberland Gap, TN

I love the rock foundation of this place. The water comes down from the mountain and is ice cold--winter and summer. No matter how hot the summer is.

Yellow...the color for happiness

Every year I take pictures of my daffodils and post some...believe it or not I think I have only take two photos of them this year. BTW, I love the color yellow...it is so bright and cheerful.

Three little pigs....

When the walls come tumbling down....#2

I'm not quite sure how this one is still standing...I saw it on a recent drive. You could say that it is air conditioned....;-)

From a few years ago

This was taken in the fall of 2008....not sure where at. Probably Wisconsin or Illinois. We drove up to Mackinaw City, going up through Indiana and Michigan, and not getting on the interstate at all till the last hour or two. But when we came home, we went up over the lakes and over and down through Wisconsin over to the Mississippi River and down by it for a while, before turning southeast and towards home.

Anyway, on that trip I took close to 300 pictures of barns. The thing with them is that most are drive bys...as is this one. So some are not blog-worthy, but there are still some good ones I have never published.

Barn in B&W

A barn from the past...don't recall where it was at....
