The Rexrodes Homeplace in Black and White



Looking up at the homeplace from the barn...

Back side of barn...you can see the house from here...


Old basketball hoop on the side of Mr. Rexrode’s barn is a reminder of the children growing up in the country...

Frontside of barn which is really messy...this is where the children “tried" to play basketball...

  24. What a lovely story told in pictures! Makes me curious about the stories that old barn could tell. Thanks for the bit of info on it, and I love the B&W! I haven't done much of that...must try it!

  26. this is beautiful genie...what's the story with the homeplace?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think b&w makes for some dramatic & very interesting images... my mom doesn't like b&w photos, she says it takes everything, meaning the color, out & makes them blah... but I just don't agree! Fantastic b&w's, esp the 2nd shot, I love that tree in the background & the barn itself & hay bales... the whole shot! =)

    Thanks so much for joining this week's Barn Charm =)
