Little Barn

 This little barn/shed is seen on the way to our daughters...well, actually we see it on the way home.  I am not sure I even notice it on the way.  

Fleamarket find...

 Another item that I thought was beautiful, but I left it at the flea market.  but I was tempted to buy it for one of my daughters.  I just wasn't sure if either one would like it.

Take what I can get....

 This is a slow down and shoot drive in Terre Haute....a back way to get to where we had to go.  This tree gets absolutely gorgeous every year.

Rust

Every time I see old machinery like this, I wonder how many people have been injured in trying to do a quick repair, etc.

A moment of beauty

A lot of trees are bare now, and not sure there is any left that are fully clothed like this.  Still, we have some beauty left.  Fall never lasts long enough for me. This was taken a couple weeks ago.

Barn on IN St Rd 36....

 A nice barn seen on the way to and from our daughters' houses.

Rooster plate...

 At one time in my life, I would have had to come home with at least one of these.  And it was still tempting but since I am trying to get rid of the clutter, I only took a picture.  

Sitting in the corner...

 

I am leaving the comments to the viewing audience.

The kitchen wall...

 Thought I would show another wall of interest...

From Patton's Corner.

Heating the outdoors....NOT

 This is sitting outside with all the other stuff.  The cabin at Patton's Corner is so small...there is barely room to walk in and turn around.  But I still wish this was crammed in there.

From the kitchen....

 Believe it or not, my mom cooked on one almost like this, till I was in school.  I think maybe 2nd, or 3rd grade.

Cabin wall

 This is another from Patton's corner...I have probably posted a similar photo in the past.  The only difference is it probably did not have as much dust as there is now.

One of the clean-up crew

 At first I thought this might be a Black Vulture, but the more I look at it and compare to other pics of Black Vultures, the more I think it is a young Turkey Vulture.  One of the main reason is because of the big nostril.  I think you can see it if you expand the view.

Country road...

 

There is nothing quite like the light filtering through the trees on a fall day.

What is it??

More items from Patton's Corner.  I feel like I should know what the rusty item is, but for the life of my I cannot think what it is.  And wish now I had examined them both close.  I don't know why I hesitate to pick things up, but I do.  

Fall decorations...

 We saw these decorations in a nearby town earlier this week.  I wish now I had drove around to approach it from a different direction.

Like art....

 

Take a good look at the shell...each segment is like a separate piece of art.  I think it is just gorgeous.
 

Rust and weathered wood...

 This is at Patton's Corner...just a spot beside the road out in the country.  People are welcome to stop and look around.  We have never seen anyone else there, but there is a guest book inside the cabin to sign.  I love to go there and look.  

Licken like you may have seen before...

 But have you seen it growing on rusty old machinery?  

I know this is not a good photo...but it does show how the lichen is just growing everywhere.  Patton's corner has all kinds of old farm implements, tools, etc.  Almost all the ones sitting in the open are covered with lichen. 

Through a dirty windshield...

 Again, I was glad to be paused at a stop light.

Another from the road...

 

This is cropped...as with all my 'from the road' shots, taken with a little P&S camera.  

Not from the road....

But from an inside flea market.  Too bad it did not have a lid, though I have no earthly use for it, I was tempted to bring it home.

From a stoplight...

 There is a place on the way home that has lots of pumpkins and fall stuff for sale.  I would love to actually stop but am always in such a hurry to get home that I never do.  I did manage to snag one photo.

Two pics of the same barn...

 From the road on October 3rd.

Always colorful....

 This tree is always colorful....I think it might be in decline.  I have been trying to find picture from past years and am not having any luck.  I may have it confused with another tree.

More from Rockville wall...

 The middle one does not give the grade/age that I can see, and the one with the cow is no clear enough for me to read it.  I have wondered are these the originals or are they copies of originals.

From Rockville

 These are on the side of a building in Rockville.  I do not know th story behind them.  The first one is did by a second grader and the trees are done by a 7th grader.

Rural scene

 A typical scene along our roads....

Autumn drive-by

 I wish I could have taken time to really compose this shot...it is a drive-by taken Tuesday.   It is the best I could do going 60 mph. 

Seen in Danville, Indiana

 We were coming through Danville, and for once I was thankful that I was behind a slow moving vehicle.  I was able to snap this photo of this mural.  But I would love to have time go by and take a pic of the whole thing.  It was gorgeous.

Yellow gold

 

To farmers, this probably is yellow gold.
