You know what time it is..

it is Barn Charm time again!  I had to dig around to find some to post.  Not so much find ones to post, but figuring out which I have posted before and which not.  That can be quite challenging sometimes.


 After poking around in my photos and on my blog, I settled on these three...all drive-by shots from Tennessee.  All are in need of a little TLC.  For the best view, click to expand the view.

A little TLC? I'm surprised a good wind hasn't brought it down.

Ginny Hartzler said...

Absolutely pathetic. Poor old things...someone should tear them down.

TexWisGirl said...

definitely some weathered wood in these!

Saun said...

Sometimes the drive by shots are the best kind. Yes it definitely needs someTLC great shots!

Poor barns. They almost look like they are beyond helping.

Karen Lakis said...

All charming and all have probably seen better days. They sure make for nice captures!

Nell at njschout said...

Definitely needs a little loving care, but it makes for great shots anyway!

Judy said...

I think they're great! Love the weathered wood.

Elizabeth Edwards said...

Jori said...

So pretty! I love the second shot with the door hanging open.

Grandma Barb's This and That said...

They may need some TLC but they are charming just the same! I like the horse in the first one.

Maude Lynn said...

I love that first shot!

George said...

Thank you for show-casing these Tennessee barns. I must say that we do have some that are in somewhat better shape.

John @ Beans and I on the Loose said...

One of the better barns seen in some time - real character. I plan to be going through Tennessee in a few months so this is encouraging.

Deanna said...

Oh I do like that first one...the horse? adds to the charm...and surrounded by all those beautiful trees...really nice!!

These are great captures! That third barn looks particularly rustic.

Leave It To Davis said...

Tear them down????!!!! AUGH!!! NOOOOO!!!!! Then what in the world would we photgraph????? lol

I especially love the setting for the first picture....down in a valley...a valley so low....with a sweet horse just minding his business grazing...just the perfect spot for Heaven. I wish Heaven would be full of old barns! Tear them down! Gracious! Whoever heard of such a thing?!

fantastic old barns, Rose, love the horse in the 1st & the open door in the 2nd & the warped barn wood in the last... also, the logs in the last, cool old barn! i'd just love to get inside these & explore to my heart's content!

thanks a million for joining! =)

CDH said...

What a cool old barn. I bet it was a busy place in its 'hay' day. I like how the wood curls up at the bottom. very neat.

Cheryl @ TFD said...

The oldies are all very charming! I do hope the barn doesn't fall in on the horse some day, tho!

You said to be sure & tell what works w/ for the skunk smell... well, I was going to stop at Wal Mart on my way home from work this evening & pick up some of that 'Scent Away', but I had some errands to run & forgot all about it... until I pulled in the garage! I coulda kicked myself in the butt, but I came in & opened some windows again, lit a candle then sprayed all the fabrics with Febreeze & the smell is pretty much gone. I get a whiff of it now & again, but seems to be working. The temp is 36 right now & I just closed the windows, but it isn't all that cold in here, either.
When I woke up this morning, the smell got to me after being closed up over night, so I'll see how bad it is in the morning & I may still stop at Wal Mart tomorrow.
I'm worried about my clothes smelling like skunk after being closed up in the house all day yesterday, even tho I washed them last night. =0 OH THE HORROR! LoL!

Small City Scenes said...

Wow those old buildings have been out in the weather for a loonng time. Very cool looking. I wouldn't let that horse in that barn though. nice shots. MB

EG CameraGirl said...

Looks to me like this barn isn't long for this world. How sad.

MadSnapper said...

I like the last one, it looks like it has a skirt..

don said...

All three are fine drive-by shots. Good detail and sharpness. Well weathered wood looks so good when captured like you did in these three.

Deanna said...

Could definitely use a little TLC. Love the weathered colors. I have the same problems, tryiing to remember which barns I've posted and which I haven't!

Nancy said...

Three very rustic barns. Love the well-worn, weathered look.

Coloring Outside the Lines said...

I'm loving all that wood- the middle one has a certain charm to it, but that last one looks like it is a brisk wind away from becoming a wood pile.

Debbie said...

Mary said...

Very nice!
