During our little drive through the Gold Country it is easy to come across barn after barn after barn. I stopped by and took a few photos of them hoping to give you a sense of the area. I have always been fond of barns since we have had many of them through the years on properties homesteaded by my ancestors. Here are a few we stumbled upon that make me wonder what might be inside of them.

Wonderful photos. When we were in the Midwest this past summer, I was constantly wanting to photograph barns. Unfortunately (husband thinks fortunately), we usually had trouble finding a spot to pull over and park. I sure kept trying though. Love those old barns.

I feel the same way. I could take three hours to drive ten miles if I stopped every time I wanted to take a photo. But, sometimes you just can’t help yourself! It is also hard when sometimes there are power lines or something in the way of a good shot.
It was really fun to spend the day just driving slowly and exploring and stopping for photos as often as I liked. My husband was a good sport this day. 😉

Thanks. I thought it was cute too! It was really friendly and really wanted us to pick some weeds for it! 🙂

I love them. We have donkey rescue shelters here in Australis (same in other countries I guess) and I sponsor a lovely donkey.

Hi Jenny. Lovely barns indeed. I am partial to them too.
And a donkey too! They’re almost extinct in our parts of the world now aren’t they?
(Been out of the way this week, due to a major Mac crash. Fried. Hope to get it back with a new motherboard next week. Meanwhile, been using another computer with very different setups… Aggravating)
Be good.

Sorry to hear about your tech troubles! Those are the pits.
We definitely have donkeys around but not as many as horses for sure.

I dunno. Our barns are pretty industrial looking.

Some. But some are built of stone and are beautiful out in the country.
