Old barns...

I have kind of a fascination with barns.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I grew up on a farm, and have good memories of playing in the hayloft, and going out to see my Dad when he was working out there.
Maybe it's the architecture so many of them have.
Maybe it's the history they hold!
I think it's all of the above. I love to drive down country roads and take pictures of the barns I find.

Here is one I showed you recently. It's in great condition and has a fresh coat of paint.

And here are a few others:

These ones are showing their years. They all have some wear and tear, some more than others. The paint is worn, some boards are loose. Some are falling down.
However, I like them best! They have character, that is sometimes covered up in the freshly painted barns.
It makes me think about the older people I take care of. I love their character. I think their wrinkles and gray hair are beautiful. They have history too!
