A hodge-podge for Barn Charm

Someone posted a barn that was built similar to this 2 or 3 weeks ago. Only the one they posted was in wonderful shape.....just a beauty. But it immediately made me this of this old one. So I wanted to post it...these are never before posted photos of it, but I have posted other photos of it.

I have been watching it for several years now....just a few more boards are missing. I really do wonder just how long it can continue to stand.

These two photos were from our drive yesterday. I love the barn above, have passed it a million times, and think I have only attempted to shoot it one other time. I just love its gambrel roof. It isn't far from here, but not a real good place to pull off the road so just got this drive by shot. You can see that the fence is sort of blurry...we were going at least 55-60 mph.

This is one I had seen a few times before...it is on a back road so we did pause as I took the photo. This is through the windshield.

Kaya said...: These barns are very charming!!!

I am in love with the last one. I have never seen yet white and red barns. Very beautiful and very unique!!! And very festive!!!; November 26, 2012 at 6:51 PM
Jori said...: Beautiful photo's! You are right, I wonder how long the top barn can hang on. It surely is pretty!; November 26, 2012 at 7:13 PM
Beth said...: Great 'hodge podge'! The third one is my favorite. You did quite well for passing it at that mph!
The first ol' gal may be missing a few teeth as one commenter said, but she's still 'holding her own'.:>); November 26, 2012 at 7:46 PM
Mari said...: You got some great shots, especially for drive by shooting! They are all charming in their own way.; November 26, 2012 at 8:08 PM
George said...: I hope that old barn hangs on for a few more years. It needs some TLC, but it has a lot of character.; November 26, 2012 at 8:37 PM
Anonymous said...: These are great captures, Rose! It's amazing how they continue to remain upright for so long.

I've got a few I've been "watching" for a couple of years, too. One of these days (!) I will have to post them.; November 26, 2012 at 9:19 PM
EG CameraGirl said...: The first barn really is falling apart but it makes a great photo op. I like the gambrel roof on the second barn too. Too bad the shed roof on the third barn is in such bad shape.; November 26, 2012 at 10:26 PM
Carletta said...: I like the shape of the first one and imagine it was a lovely old girl at one time.
I think they should fix the roof pretty soon on the second one. A tarp is good short term.
I love the last one! The red and white paint, the weathered barn doors and the lightning rods make it charming for me!
If it were mine I just couldn't let that lean-to roof keep falling in. :(; November 26, 2012 at 10:33 PM
Nell at njschout said...: The first barn is pretty decrepit! Lovely photos!; November 26, 2012 at 10:33 PM
Cheryl @ TFD said...: You got some great shots on your drive-bys! Love that second barn...so pretty and it looks like it's still being used.; November 26, 2012 at 11:10 PM
Grandma Barb's This and That said...: Great barns. Each one has it's own charm. But I really like the first one with it beautiful faded wood.; November 27, 2012 at 12:21 AM

MadSnapper said...: the second and the next to the last are my favorites. they include beautiful trees with these wonderful old barns.; November 27, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Anonymous said...: Love the dark barn wood on the 1st one & I'd really like to get inside & explore it... altho, I'd be scared to due to it's rough condition! =0

Thanks a bunch for joining, Rose! =); November 27, 2012 at 9:13 AM
Judy said...: Great barn finds Rose...Wish I could have the wood from the top barn to make my own barn with :); November 27, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Dan said...: Each barn has its own unique charm. Which I find to be a testament to everything is has provided in its past to the whimsy of onlookers and photographers today.; November 27, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Anonymous said...: Nice trio of barns in varying conditions! I love the big white barn.; November 27, 2012 at 10:55 AM
don said...: All of these are very good barn shots, Rose. That first one can't last much longer. I like the drive-by shot which is very good in spite of the speed. Good through-the-windshield shot too.; November 27, 2012 at 11:36 AM
Tanya Breese said...: they are all wonderful in their own way!; November 27, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Small City Scenes said...: It is so sad to see any barn in that shape but then again it is beautiful in it's own way. You do wonder sometimes how it can stay standing and then 'whoosh' down it comes. MB; November 27, 2012 at 5:41 PM
The Farmers Daughter said...: And, what a nice hodge-podge it is! They each have their own character. . .; November 27, 2012 at 7:11 PM
Sally in WA said...: Great shots of these barns, even the drive by one. That poor roof on the lean-to attached to the last barn...its a wonder it doesn't just fall in.; November 27, 2012 at 9:18 PM
Susan said...: Love these barns Rose!; November 28, 2012 at 8:47 PM
