Barn Charm ♥77♥

*Welcome to Barn Charm*
where we have a plethora of country barnage & fencery to be seen
from all over the world!

I'd like to give a great big hug to everyone that kept my nephew,
Landon, in their prayers last week while he was in the hopital,
but I can't, so you get a gigantic heartfelt THANK YOU!
He's doing so much better! =)

Now, link up & go visit everyone's beautiful barns!

oh, you dear girl! barnage and fencery are going to make it into the next dictionary issue if we're not careful!

(and plethora is one of my favorite words...)

Debbie said...

Sally said...

Each shot is more awesome than the next! Great shots!

Beth said...

i fear if a strong wind was to come along it would blow over. but such a great sight. (:

Jan n Jer said...

Pretty bad condition...makes you wonder how it's still standing. Great shots n love your edit on the last one!

Rose said...

That poor barn! It needs some work...

Bruce Clark said...

Love those colors and textures, Tricia.

Linnea said...

Now that is quite a barn. It looks like a piece of artwork the way you photographed it so beautifully!

Mari said...

So glad that Landon is doing better!
You found a great barn! I love the way the barn wood is showing and the other siding is peeling off.

Genie said...

Awesome work, Tricia. You turned these dilapidated barns into work of photographic art. I love the processing technique you used whatever is it. Each one is impressive in its own way. Am so glad they are still standing so you could photograph them. Thank goodness Landon is better. I know you were so concerned. genie

Kathy said...

This old barn is just peeling off in layers, isn't it!

I too like the word "plethora" and one of its antonyms, "dearth."

Judy said...

I don't know, I'm loving the beat up look of this barn. I'm so glad to hear Landon is doing wonderfully.

gigi said...

Wow, this is a real Charmer!! Wonderful colors and I wish it was in my back yard.

So glad to hear that he is doing better. Prayers continued.

Sad-sad-sad and yet glorious. What stories it might tell. MB

Evelyn S. said...

I agee with Theresa about "barnage" and "fencery." ;-) This is one fascinating barn....I'm really curious about the white parts!

Kim, USA said...

I love the color and the texture too. Happy Monday.

Saun said...

Wow that is just crazy :)

don said...

That's a rugged looking barn with marvelous textures and wood grain. It is eye-catching! Fine post.

shutterbuggbitten said...

That poor old barn has certainly seen better days.

Grandma Barb's This and That said...

I don't think this barn will make it through the next wind storm. But I still love the pictures.

Dawna said...

Great shots and editing!! Lovin Barn Charm,,,thanks for hosting it :)

Sinbad and I on the Loose said...

That is one of the roughest looking barns I have ever seen. Being shingled is a bit unusual for a barn I would think.

Carole said...

What an interesting barn. Especially the way the underlying wood runs at an angle. It must have been quite a sight in its heyday.

Carole said...

Glad that your nephew is home and doing better.

Tezzie said...

That is such a cool old barn! I love all the different ways you captured it...wonderful work!

heyBJK said...

I love that barn, Tricia! That is fantastic! It has tons of character. Great, great photos!

Happy to hear Landon is doing better!

thirdhandart said...

This barn has lots of neat patterns and textures. Beautiful captures and amazing post processing Tricia!

Tatjana Parkacheva said...

I'm glad that your nephew Landon is much better.
Your barn photos are very good.

Regards and best wishes

Linda said...

I LOVE the new words! This barn must have been quite a beauty in her day - but even now, as the paint is peeling and the boards are rotting, there is a charm that cannot be denied. And I really like what you did with the last photograph! Again, thank you for hosting Barn Charm - I really enjoy it!

Beth said...

Love this barn! This one is living the remainder of its life with flair---the patched places/plain wood against the red adds pattern and pizazz---kind of like an old guy with a checked sport coat, bow tie, and Fred Astaire hat or an elderly lady with a patterned caftan and colorful jewelry. My imagination is on overdrive, I guess.

Tanya said...

oh wow, that is a gorgeous barn tricia...love the pattern....so happy that cute landon is on the mend!

thesedaysofmine.com said...

That one has definitely seen better days, hasn't it? Love what's left of the red paint!

Pix at Under the Oaks said...

Tricia poor old barn! A blustery Pooh like kind of wind could hurt her. Love your shots and the texture of the wood and the brick shingle like siding is amazing and eye catching. Love your editing too.

Glad Landon is doing well! Hip Hip HooRay!!

Madge Bloom said...

Interesting that they sided the barn with the lumber running diagonal to the center line...

Nani said...

SO glad for Landon and the whole family!

Amazing and kinda eerie how the paint is coming off that barn!!

Kristy LifenReflection said...

My oh my, love the light in your first frame!

Deanna said...

I immediately saw a patchwork quilt. What a majestic barn. Here's to hoping someone loves her enough to give her a facelift.

Once again my little barn link didn't load correctly. I must be doing something wrong!

Elaine said...

Looks like a peeling sunburn. I like the first shot where the old gal is sitting all alone out in the field.

Deborah said...

I love old barns!
Every one of them is beautiful!

Deborah :)

Cass @ That Old House said...

What a fascinating barn you feature this week; I am intrigued by the "skin" peeling away to reveal the chevron construction beneath.

Great deconstruction!
Love this blog party -- thanks!
Cass

Nancy said...

Wowee-wow-wow! So much character is this crazy quilt barn. Pretty amazing. Glad to hear Landon is doing better.

Angela said...

I love these!!

bailey-road.com said...

It's like a crazy quilt! I love all the patches.

bon bon said...

wow, it's really neat how the old siding (shingling?) is pealing off to reveal the unique angle of the boards. i would have hated to cover those in the first place. (but i suppose barn-building are thinking function over visual appeal.)

...and i just read your word verify description! that's pretty interesting, AND sneaky. i had no idea. thanks for cluing me in!

Liz said...

Aha! Love the word plethora.
Great barn Tricia, though I think it's sadly lacking in lovin'. Now I'm back from my blogging break I'll be on the lookout for barns, fences and the like... hubby had 2 weeks off work in another week, so we will be out exploring :)

Comfypjs said...

I absolutely love the barn photos! I wish someone would make a coffee table book of 'old barns'.

Veronica said...

Absolutley stunning!!!
