Today was a day when Mother Nature wasn’t sure what to do. Starting with some light rain, then showing cloudy cover and ending with fluffy rain drops that could almost be called snow. In spite of the weather, the day was filled with life’s light.
Standing on the rolling hills of Maryland stood these two barns in viewing sight of each other. Next to Greenstreet Gardens in Lothian, one of old, one of new.
Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you;
she is after your barn.

My friend and I traveled to Lothian, Maryland to visit the Hoot is in your backyard event at Greenstreet Gardens. Beginning with a presentation with Mark Wild Turkey Tayac of the Piscataway Indian Nation and his son Naiche, then followed by an Owl presentation by Liz Owen of Raptors Eye this promised to be a unique event.
Indians and Owls. Who could go wrong?
Today was a fantastic photo opportunity day, and I’m looking forward to sharing more from the Piscataway Indian Nation, and the Owls. Stay tuned ! Bella

I like the photos, but right now I’m at a loss as far as pithy comments, as WordPress just lost over two hours of work I had done, sorry.
I can imagine your frustration. Time to walk away Jerry !
The weather was sure good for colours. Love the red barn with the starry eyes, Emily.
That’s a great way of describing that barn Bente ! Thanks for the great title!
Your photos are unbelievable each and every time. The first barn looks abandoned.., and I love the look. The red barn is gorgeous! Outstanding Emily!!
You are too sweet Judy ! I was curious as to what was in the abandoned barn, but I didn’t dare. Evidently the red one is well known among local photographers. 🙂
As for the hoots, the dilapidated barn is far more suitable for them than the red one. I’ll be waiting for the hoots.
Love that ! The Hoots ! I wish I could have seen if there were any there.
very beautiful emily! love the first photo, the colours are fantastic and the second one looks like the barn has eyes 😀 great!
Thank you so very much for your kind comment. I love it when people let me know which one they like best. Helps me see things through other people’s eyes. Indeed, that are some starry eyes. 🙂
Emily, the barns are such a beautiful photo subject, ever think of consolidating them in book?
Thank you so much ! I’m just starting my collection and placing them into a Flickr album. After the year is out, I may consider a calender or some other print media. Thanks again!
Love that kind of barns – just call me a redneck…. ‘hahahahaha’
Really great photos… 🙂
I love your photos. The details and composition pulls me in, they seem to be asking me for the additional information I must possess to complete the story.
Oh how I could wish to tell you more of the stories of these barns. Alas, I have none. Perhaps we’ll have to make up our own story. Thank you so very much for your kind comments Charlie and it’s great to see you!
Oh I am so late today, just trying to get caught up. These are fantastic photographs! My favorite is the first old gray barn against the gray/cloudy sky is exceptional.
I like that top shot. The amount of moss growth on the barn really heightens the abandonned rustic nuance.
Isn’t it funny that I didn’t notice that moss until I came back home to work on the image.
