This old barn

Old Olympic barn 2

If I’m not mistaken, this is one of the older barns in this area. It doesn’t look that way. Like any building – especially one that sees much use and wear – it has needed care and maintenance. That it is standing and looks darned good is a testament to the stewardship of the farmers who have owned it.

It’s one of those barns that deserves perfect light on a perfect day for a just right shot. Others have gotten photos of it just so. I hope I will too one of these days.

I know we’ve officially made it to spring but here’s something I’ll concede to liking about winter: I like the colors of the landscape around the marshes at Dungeness Recreation Area. The bleached golden grasses, the blue sheen of water, burgundy stripe of wild roses, grey green of lichen in the winter bare trees, and the scruff of evergreen that dots above. And when it comes around, I love the blue sky. The grass is starting its rebirth now. You can see it mixing fresh growth amid the gold.
