Happy Dirty Cows

I'm involved now with a group of photographers who are going out and photographing all the barns in Portage County. I only agreed to do this because I love taking pictures of almost anything. And Hey I like a nice looking barn just as well. I mean I've already taken a few just while out and about since I've been here. However since I've started I've been talking with a few other people also involved who know just a little bit more about barns, styles, histories, how they were made, differences in the ones built 100 - 150 years ago to 50 years ago...etc. WOW I never knew there are so many interesting features. I'll share some of the differences in features as I learn more, but today I just wanted to post a couple that I like and this one just so happens to have cows in front. The last two are actually built on stone boulders as their foundation.

  2. Thanks for the fun barn pics. Those old buildings have such character. I have a soft spot in my heart for them as well. I've got a whole file of barn snapshots and I've given DH a moment or two of concern when I run onto some farmer's property with my camera without asking permission or looking for dogs. Now I try use better manners and be more careful.
