The Shield’s Barn on Kerrs Creek

This is the Shield’s Barn which is located about 4 miles from our place. My 46 year old son was great friends with their son. All the guys out here on the creek hung out together through their teenage years and had a great, low key style of life together. It was a wonderful time. This is still a working family barn and in pretty good condition.

This post in not linked with any meme. It is just a different take on the shot I posted for Weekend in Black and White earlier. 

Dawn Breaking on the Creek

I think there may be some hope for me. T’is hard to believe, but I think I’ve FINALLY gotten this straight...the white line across the sky is not a “jet stream” but rather a “contrail.” For some reason I had it in my head that when a “jet” flew overhead, the trail it left behind was a jet stream. Am sorry about that. As my mother used to always say: "It is hard to teach an old dog a new trick.”Her other favorite expression and belief was “That Sputnik is the cause of all of these awful Florida hurricanes and weird weather patterns." It has turned out to be a gorgeous day, and Buddy is OFF work for the 23rd and 24th for the first time in 33 years. That is a fabulous early Christmas present. We are off hiking tomorrow...goodie, goodie. Maybe I will get to see the red barn over by Seneca Falls in West Virginia.

Big Black Barn

Since this is the first and only truly black farm I have ever seen, I decided it only fitting to post it in black and white. It sits directly behind the Rockbridge Baths Volunteer Fire Department and pass it each night on my way home from school. I just love that it is one of what I call the "one-of-a-kinders". This frame is from French Kiss textures.

Here it is in the original color with one of Kim Klassen’s “grunge” textures and framing by Coffeeshop.
