Old Barn

It was 100 degrees today, ugh.  It was also the Sat for Jesus Feeds~~once a month my church sets up a food station in a church parking lot in downtown Abilene and anyone can come by and have something to eat at no charge.

It's an awesome ministry.

This seemingly abandoned barn structure is located in Sweetwater, Texas.  I don't know anything about it, just that it looked like a great photo op with the blue sky and clouds in the background.

Grain Silo in Small Town

On one of my field trips with a friend, we came across this grouping of silos.  I don't know why I find them so irresistible, but I do and I almost always make images of them if I can.

Abandoned Barn in Merkel, Texas

Today was another unseasonably warm day~~75 throughout the afternoon, so I decided to take a ride to one of the smaller towns nearby.  I've been there before, but I don't think it was during the Christmas season.  

This barn can be seen from the road leading into the town so I decided to make an image of it.  It's huge and I just can't figure out how it can just be vacant...doesn't someone have to pay taxes on the land?

No income from the barn and paying taxes, someone must have a lot of money.

A Barn

I saw this colorful red and green barn as I was driving around today.

Another perspective of the Creamery Visitor Center.  

I was walking around, waiting for my companion to show up, when I saw a young man on a bicycle on the path just looking around at the building.  I took a few photos and then went to the parking area.  When I turned back around the young man had parked his bike next to the building and he was taking photos of the structure.  I was so tempted to talk to him and see what he was seeing that I might have missed, but I didn't.

My heart is happy that:

We all see things differently and can share those visions with others

Quilt Square on Barn

There is a tourist area with walking trials on the edge of Fairbanks, Ak.  I went there this morning with my dil and saw this incredible reminder of the area I lived in most of my life.

Where I used to live, many people would pay for someone to design a wooden quilt square 

and they'd put it on their barn or their house.  There was a map of the locations

for all the squares, so it could be a day-long trip to follow the trail and see all the squares.

This is the only one I've seen here, but I love it.

My heart is happy that:

I had the chance to spend some outdoor time with my dil today.

Abandoned Country Barn

This abandoned barn is seen on a country road on the outskirts of Abilene, Texas.  

My heart is grateful for:
