Ivy crawling up the sides of this barn…………..
Cheryl kept the car running while I took a quick shot of this old red barn in the Monroe CT area. The ivy crawling up the side of the barn gives it a nice look as it sits in the middle of the field. After this we headed out to view the other barns on our list but didn’t have a lot of luck today. We were able to photograph one other barn in Monroe but that’s a pretty small catch for us. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full frame mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 53 mm. 1/200th, f16, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

Towering Pines at the park…………..
So, honestly, I just felt all cooped up from working at home for weeks on end and had to get out so I took 20 minutes and went up to the local park minutes from my house. The park is located in central CT. It’s a beautiful park for walking and sports due to it’s large spacious fields but it falls a little short on foliage. The one exception being these beautiful towering pine trees. I thought this would make for a nice shot with the purple wild flowers scattered about the foreground and the nice blue sky peeking through the openings. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full…

Barn & horse in Bethany/Woodbridge CT area………
My apologies but I’m not sure if this was taken in Bethany or Woodbridge CT. I remember not being able to locate the town line sign but it was certainly close to the town line. This was a beautiful corner lot of multiple acres which situated upon it were a barn, house, coral and field located on a main route going through town. The image was shot as seen except for one slight modification to the grounds in photoshop.

Grazing bull in Litchfield CT ………
Cheryl looked on as I photographed this beautiful farm scene in Litchfield CT. Framed by two trees these cows, or bulls, grazed on this sloping field speckled with yellow wild flowers. This is actually the backside of the farm I posted on the same date. Photograhed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full frame mirrorless camera with a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 44mm. 1/200tg f16, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

Litchfield farm scene………
Cheryl kept the seat warm in the car while I photographed this farm in Litchfield CT. I believe, these days, it is primarily a horse farm. If you look at coral at the far right there are some horses present. Only modification in photoshop was the foreground by the roadway.

Old Cow Farm in Litchfield CT
Another barn on the list for Cheryl and I in Litchfield CT this bright sunny day. This property covered many acres and was a beautiful site to see. I’m sure at one time this was a bustling farm replete with farm house as seen in the right distant side of the image. However, with it’s boarded windows I believe the farm house is no longer occupied. I didn’t see a lot of activity or any livestock during my visit so I’m not sure to what extent the farm is utilized today. With it’s towering silo’s and acres of fields I’m sure there was a lot of cows to feed back…

Aging comfortably in the middle of the woods ………….
Passing time nestled amongst the surrounding foliage this old barn sits in the countryside of Roxbury CT. I don’t know if the house in the left rear of the image is connected to the barn or not. Photographed with: Sony A7RII, Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 50 mm. 1/250th, f16, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

There’s beauty in this mess…………
At first glance it just looks like an overgrown mess. However, when you look closer you’ll see the beautiful roots spiraling up the tree to the right of the barn. The streaks of shadows, painting it’s west side, lend character to it’s already aging charm. With tears of rust and grime emanating from the window panes she perhaps longs for some attention. If you’ll look closely you’ll see the adjoining home, in much better condition, peeking through the V of the double tree. Yes, overgrown and unkempt but it’s nature intertwining with man’s creation and that can be beautiful. Live on old barn, live on! Photographed with a Sony A7RII…
