The Barn

Terry has been spending 

a good amount of time down at 

the local horse barn.  

He's taken over the care of an older horse 

who needs assistance.  

As those of you who know him understand, 

that's right up his alley.

Since he's spending time there, 

I've been spending a bit of time there also.  

If I can get my pictures together, 

expect to see some horse pictures in the near future.

Today, I decided to post a few photos 

I took while wandering around the barns.  

As always,

I love the atmosphere there, 

and especially how everyone 

contributes their little goodies to the ambiance.

 I try to look for the little things.

Since Spring is springing, 

there are flowers.

Don't you love it 

when people repurpose old pieces?

I was taken with the texture 

of this weathered plywood.

The barn borders Henry Cowell State Park.

I felt like this light was there

 just for me to take this picture.

This reminded me of the forest 

where the Evil Queen banished Snow White.

In reality, it's where they walk the horses.

Clever birdhouse.

This guy stopped by for a visit . . .

Here's a lucky horseshoe.

Most probably decorated 

by some youngster who loves horses.

And here's my favorite  shot of the day.

I believe the original photograph 

has deteriorated over the years, 

leaving chemicals imprinted on the glass.

I LOVE this shot, 

so expect mpre versions 

as I shoot it in different weather.

So now you've got an idea 

of where we've been spending some time!
