This barn sits nestled between a river and the road I travel each day. These large apple crates seem to come and go, but are always here and full of apples come harvest time each fall.
And while perhaps it's not the most charming barn around, I love the crates and the various tractors that appear every now and then. Funny thing is, I drove by this barn every day for longer than I care to admit, wondering just where the orchard was that supplied all those apples. Longer than I care to admit as in over a year. There is a river behind it; how could there possibly be an orchard there?
Thing is, I was so caught up in the happenings each morning and evening that I forgot to look on the other side of the road.
Who knows what one may find if they just have the courage to turn the other cheek.
You just may find something beautiful.

ReplyDeleteGreat post - nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have been there! The things that sit almost under our noses that we miss.
ReplyDelete(My barn post is located halfway between Fergus and Elora)
I think the barn has a simple charm, with it's straight lines and faded paint, but what beauty lies on the other side. I love your analogy!
ReplyDeleteHow cool!
ReplyDeletegreat photos!
ReplyDeleteA lovely barn, lovely photos of the other side of the road, and lovely words to tie it all together. It's amazing how often we miss what's right under our noses.
ReplyDeleteI like how you processed these photos. They have a dream-like quality....maybe a coming-out0i=of-the-fog quality like when you realized the apple trees were across the road. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Andrea and so true. B
ReplyDeleteLOL...I love this! Its amazing what you can see when you really take a good look!!! Great photos!
