Oh, how I love old barns (I could do this all day!)

One of the things I love about living so close to the country is that within 3 minutes I can be in the country and taking pictures of old homes, old barns and some beautiful scenery with all the farms and each and every crop having its own beauty. Here is an old barn that is slowly being taken over by blackberries, but I can tell you, the wild blackberries are the best, especially in a pie.

Forget the barn, I'd go for the blackberries and lucky you that you're just a hop skip and jump away from those pleasures.

Todd you just gave me an idea! I love riding and taking pictures too.  I am with Lora about the blackberries, but I will add in that this reminds me that there's snakes in them there woods!!

I love old barns too - and old log cabins. Haven't found any blackberries for years, but sure hope I make it to the woods to find huckleberries this year.

Todd - I love barns too!  It's as if they transport us to another time, another place.  When they are photographed in black and white, it catapaults us there!

Todd, great photo. I've always loved the country, old barns and berry picking too. The black and white works so well for this photograph. Photos like this is an excellent representation of Americana!

I have to say, Blackberry pie is one of my favorites, Todd! I grew up in the country and picked a lot of Blackberries. They weren't fun to pick but well worth it!!!
