Barn Charm ♥72♥

Welcome to Barn Charm!
I want to thank everyone for participating...
Barn Charm is growing every week with participants from Finland, Australia & Germany!
How exciting!

I'm probably leaning more toward the black & white version above,
which is why it's posted 1st in line...
the last one is the original.

The 'Old Barns' badge is what I originally called Barn Charm
& it was one of the 1st badges I made of this very barn posted tonight =)

Snow has been falling pretty much all day here in southeast Missouri
with about 2-3 inches on the ground so far
& the sky has a strange pink 'glow'...
but I can't seem to capture it w/ my camera.
The snow is suppose to be changing to sleet, freezing rain & ice
before it's all over & like I've said many, many times,
I can do without the ice, but the snow sure is beautiful to watch! =)

Well, I like them all :) It's been snowing all day here, but not much on the ground. I hope it doesn't turn to freezing rain for you, that makes driving so dangerous.

TexWisGirl said...

congrats on getting some 'winter'! but stay safe! i like this image of one of your 'original' barns. :)

Country Gal said...

Love your photos !I love Black and White photography especially for old buildings whether they be barns or Churches I find balck and white photos tell the history of the subject ! We had a snowstorm this past Fri into Sat and part of Sunday got about 1 1/2 feet and today was nice and sunny but tomorrow more snow ! I dont get out much to take photos of barns even though we have tons around here ! Have a great day ! Oh and Happy Valentines Day to you and your family !

Flora said...

What a great barn!

Elaine said...

I think I like the second photo best, and fun to see one of your early barn photos. Exciting indeed to get so many people joining in from around the world! Hopefully they'll be wrong on the forecast and you'll miss out on the ice. I've been in southern Missouri during an ice storm and know how treacherous it is.

Reena Walkling said...

We had that icey storm Saturday ... great barn effects!

Bruce Clark said...

That's a different looking barn. I really like the roof.

Beth said...

they are so different. not sure i can pick. such character. (:

bailey-road.com said...

That's a really cool barn!

Donna said...

The B/W one is wonderful, but you had a good subject to start with. I love the work you are doing with the photos.

Marydon said...

Each has its own unique presentation of this beauty ... she stands so perfectly.
Happy Valentine's
TTFN ~
Hugs,

Kathy said...

This one's a beauty!

Cheryl @ The Farmer's Daughter said...

Great looking barn, I like the unedited version the best.
Stay warm and safe in this wintry weather!

Rose said...

I have looked at yours two or three different times, and cannot pick which version I liked....I would be happy with any of them.

Pam said...

i love them all - each one gives a different "feel".

Saun said...

I like them all great shots!

don said...

I like the black and white image with the red roof very much. The others all look very good too, but the first one would be my favorite.

barbara l. hale said...

I like all three. Fantastic barns! Stay warm and safe. I envy you the snow. We've had none since October.

Margaret said...

Yes, for artistic purposes, the first one. That's the one I would frame and hang on my wall. The touch of red is really fun. I need to learn how to do that!

Linda said...

I love what you did with the first one! Very nice shots.

Beth said...

I usually opt for color over black and white, but that first one is mesmerizing with the rust color standing out amidst the starkness of the sepia tones. The bare trees lend a haunting atmosphere to it. Quite lovely. :>)

We were hoping for some snow and even the ice, but it looks like it didn't make it. We've only had one snow day out of our alloted five and teachers and students alike are disappointed. :>)

Tanya said...

ohhh i can't decide which i like better but it's between the first and second one....lucky you getting snow!

thesedaysofmine.com said...

Oh, I love this sweet old barn! May I save that badge & use it on future Barn Charm posts?
Sounds like your weather is going to get interesting! Stay safe!

Catherine said...

Beautiful! I think I like the top one best.

Happy Heart Day Tricia!
xo Catherine

Pix at Under the Oaks said...

Well Tricia my favorite is the middle one! But each picture of your charming barn is, well, charming :) We have five inches of wet snow and I am ready for it to melt today in our little bit of Missouri. Thank you for Barn Charm, it makes my Tuesday :)

Cathy Hudspeth said...

You sure started something great! Sorry I can't participate - St. Petersburg, FL doesn't exactly have a lot of barns! I'm sure inland they do though. If I find some, I'll join in!

Jan n Jer said...

This is a great old barn...love all the edits!

Mama Zen said...

I love them all!

We have freezing fog and black ice here.

Liz said...

I love this image!! The B&W with red roof is great but I also like the second.
Still loving the US barns! Off to see if I can discover more Aussie ones this week.

EG Wow said...

What fun you had this barn, Tricia!

Small City Scenes said...

Happy Valentine's Day Tricia.

Love the black and white but love the color too. So you will have to do both. heehee

Nani said...

Thanks for posting the original too. I like to see the before and after shots!

We've got snow in Toledo now too. I didn't miss it. My crocuses are already starting to come up. I love seeing them stubbornly bud through the snow, but I'm still happy if they don't have to!

Kristy LifenReflection said...

Lovely texture work as always!

Grandma Barb's This and That said...

Hi Tricia. I think I like the second picture best. It looks like an oil painting to me.
I am so glad I found barn charm as I am enjoying all these old charming barns.

Tatjana Parkacheva said...

Excellent photos, especially I like the first one.

Regards and best wishes

amatterofhowyouseeit.com said...

I love how you've processed the first photo Tricia!

Bob Bushell said...

Barn freak, lol.

Nancy Reinke said...

They're all nice shots, but I like the B&W the best. Very cool.

Michele said...

Just popping in to say Happy Valentine's day ♥ (hug)

Genie said...

Tricia....Thank you so much for all the effort and time you put into the sponsorship of this meme. It is so special. This and Lesley’s Signs, Signs have to be my favorites. I cannot get over how your has grown and grown. That tells me there are lots of people around the world who love their barns and the landscapes surrounding them. I grew up far from any barns - a block from the Atlantic Ocean in Florida - but they have been magical to me as are windmills all of my life. Now I have got my husband searching them out for me. We both love your blog. genie

Evelyn S. said...

I love the options you show for the old barn, Tricia! It's quite the structure. Your meme has certainly grown with your tender care. I love seeing the barns, but sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the number.

thirdhandart said...

All three photos are gorgeous! Love how the curving road draws the viewer's eye right to the barn.

Keetha Broyles said...

Love your barn, and the B&W with red roof technique shows it off to perfection.

Ryan said...

That's it - I'm inspired. I'm gonna shoot a barn this week.

Madge @ The View From Right Here said...

You've captured this series of shots well... thanks for sharing with 'Weekly Top Shot,' your talent adds a lot!
