Tuesday's Barns
On Sunday, we took a side road trip to what was billed as a "Wildlife Management Area". I guess I really didn't know what that meant! There was nothing but miles and miles of dirt road through a wooded/scrub area and very little wildlife to be seen. I did see hunters though, which leads me to believe Dan was right when he said that this was an area designated for hunting by lottery...oh well...live and learn.
I did get a few shots of barns, so the side trip was not a total loss!
I really liked this barn - particularly from this view.
From this side, there were too many "things" in the way, and it was on the wrong side of the road, so Dan took the photo, trying to keep the 4-wheeler and the truck out of the photo.
This one was home to a horse, who was in the field with his blanket on, but would not turn his head so we could get a shot of anything other than his tail...so we opted not to photograph him!

The white one is beautiful - I like the little bicycle in the picture!
i like them both! the white one is gorgeous. the little horse one is more my size. :)
Great looking barn! I like the shot from across the field with all the fencing and the trees in the background. We have WMA's here in Kentucky and they're public lands used for everything from hunting to horseback riding. Having "wildlife" in the name is a bit misleading because everything is left to roam freely. There's no guarantee you'll see anything at all. The land itself is managed and maintained specifically for wildlife.
The white barn is a pretty fancy building. Notice the entrance on the right.
i really like the white one. such a beauty. looks like a fun get away for the weekend. (:
Beautiful barn images. I like the child's bike in the second one. :) The place looks "lived in."
No trip is ever a loss if you find a barn or two to photograph. I love the first photo of the big white barn! Really pretty.
Do you know what the significance of the star is in that last photo? Traveling around the midwest I saw many homes with this star on it and a lot of barns with a quilt-like design on the side or gable. I asked a couple of times and never got a decent answer to either. Most just didn't know themselves, and they live there!
Hi Linda, I was just thinking that the first barn looked like an equestrian barn. Just something about it. Glad your trip was not a total waste. Just getting out for a ride sounds fun.

Love the first shot of the setting!
You never know what you'll find down a road and while I've found it isn't always what I'd hoped I find something that makes it worthwhile.
a white barn, looks like a church.
Very attractive, well kept barns.
Great looking barns Linda.
They are both gorgeous barns, Linda! You got some great shots. Have a wonderful day!
I like both barns and love the girlie bike in the shot of the white barn. That white barn is very charming.. :) It looks dry there!
What a pretty barn! I love the sliding doors on the loft.
Goodness this was quite a fab find Linda, you must have been so pleased to come across this sight, laughed at your description of the 'snooty' horse haha!
Very nice barns, indeed! I'm lovin those sliding barn doors in the 2nd pic, on the top & the bottom! =)
Thanks for joining, Linda =)
Nice barns...a hunting lottery sounds like a great idea to me..makes it a little safer out there in the wilderness.
Brian has the right interpretation of wildlife management--especially in KY. More for benefit of hunters and their revenue potential than wildlife protection. But I may be getting too political for blogs. Am just remembering our sandhill crane debacle last year.
Anyhoo! You found some real barn treasures. Loved that you "punished" the non-cooperating horse by not taking his photo.
Sounds like any wildlife was hiding with very good reason. Your barn shots are beautiful and well worth a side trip. I hope you are having a great week.
Wow your posts are so amazing and this one really inspires me!

I'll wait you there dear.Have a Nice Day!
Both are beautiful, well kept barns!
Rarely barns in white....I like it!! Reminds me of the Kentucky Derby...don't know why, but that was the first thought.
If it's hunting season, that is the reason you saw no wildlife...right?
Also, Linda....LOVED your mural of Annie Hill. Very interesting history.
Nice barns! I especially liked the first one. The cupolas are beautiful!
Love those ...

Immaculate white barn! I don't see many white barns here in Ontario.
I like both - very cool barns!
