Illinois barns

I was searching for barns to post...thinking I was going to have to go waa-aaa-aaay  back in time to find something that had not been posted or at the least not posted recently.  I had forgot all about a drive we did over around Arthur, Illinois on April 21, right before I took my blogging break....
Isn't this a pretty setting for the barn?
It was a rainy, wet day...
None of the pics are fantastic...
but they give you a slice of the area.

I will be linking these with Tom's Barn Collective.  Thanks, Tom, for hosting the meme.

From the first photo it would seem that the farmer is happier to spend money on machinery than on roofing.

These are excellent shots of these good looking barns. Each one is unique. Nice post.

I think they are all fantastic shots, nothing says beauty can't be on a gray day. I love the big dead tree and the first one is so pretty, I would not want to be the roofer that gets up there to repair it. all beautiful barns to me

I hope someone fixes that bard roof soon, I'd hate to see another fall victim to weather, it's too nice a barn.

At the first farm, it looks like they spent all their money on a new John Deere and had nothing left to fix the roof. Rose it's great to see back blogging and of course I appreciate having you stop by. Come again when you can.

I like the contrast between the bright and shiny machinery and old and weathered barn. Easy to guess which one makes the farmer the money. I like the composition of the second shot.

I enjoyed seeing these. The tractor in the first one adds a nice touch.
