I took these shots today around the farm; they seem to all have the same lonesome winter feel to them. No snow at this time of year is very odd for our area; things seem to be exposed that should be covered in white, such as dead grass, dead thistles, etc. Here goes..
At the gate: the entrance to our pasture.
Feel like I am being watched.. out near the horses' run-in shelter
I call this our "Tree of Life" and I love its gnarled branches. I need to figure out what type of tree it is; it's over in the swampy area that we don't get into that often.
Maple on your pancakes?
The sad old barn, now almost completely demolished by nature.. it was a huge dairy operation, then part was converted into a sawmill.. Now, stripped of anything useful or worth anything, it just sits and seeps into the earth from whence it came.
This was a little storage room in the barn.. now it is open to the elements, the door flaps in the wind and it is deteriiorating.
My favorite shot: the old roof on the wing of the barn that still stands. We took off most of the lightening rods, but you would literally be risking getting sliced open by the sharp edges of metal roofing to get this sucker!
The haymow is always a nice cozy place.. it is ground-level but it's still a haymow to me.
