Last week early on... in between the rain showers and mists that the weather was dominated with - i took the time to poke around an old barn that has always been a bit of a source of intrigue for me and my family - we passed it by often enough but never stopped - never really found out what was housed in that mysterious structure. A few years ago part of the barn burnt down and nothing really much seemed to ever happen there again. A few weeks ago i drove by and saw that most of the trees in the area had been uprooted and the land was being slowly cleared - i'd guess in anticipation of yet another new block of unnecessary houses. So time was ticking away if we wanted to spook around a bit and see what interesting things might be lurking in the weeds and piles of junk. Curiosity won out for me on the way home one night and i spent some time peering around - nothing monumentous was found but a few things now grace my garden - thanks to Dad who came back to the site with Mom and I a few days later and patiently helped us drag out pieces of rusty metal, wire, rocks and old fence posts... and so the garden grows...
I think i might be turning out a bit like my mother after all... a good thing, to be sure! Appreciating rusty metal in all its splendour!
Even a burnt out barn can be neat!
One of my favorite shots - i loved the red moss...
And of course a sun and branches picture... can't end a post without one!

beauty indeed.mom
I need to go on a daytrip with you, just so we can stop in odd places and take pictures! One day...
Come anytime, Laura... i'd love to have company, that sometimes makes me braver than i am by myself - i worry i'll fall into a hole or cut myself and bleed to death by myself...
