Wading
Slowly but surely I'm starting to wade through the pics of Eureka/Goodfield/Woodford County that I took last month while traipsing around the countryside with a good friend. It goes without saying that the barn between Goodfield and Eureka is one of my favorites. I didn't grow up with barns like these in southwest so every time I see one I have to stop long enough to admire its beauty. If I'm driving I slow down just to take it all in. Barns around here are awesome!

3 flung things at me...your turn:
You have a great eye for composition.
The curves and the texture and shadowing on the rough gnarled tree trunk bark and branches speak to me of the resiliency required to survive here. The newer roofing system looks to be up to the job of ensuring that that tired, bare barnwood will stay together for several more decades, as it stresses and strains against the nails and joints.
You've captured the textures of the grasses and prairie plants in the foreground. They blend into a color mosaic that take my eyes uphill and also reveals a not-often-seen angular geometry in the crude construction or hasty repair of the partially hidden fence or gate. Perhaps it's leading to a herd of bucolic sheep in an idyllic pasture.
That image is totally something I would love to hang on one of my walls to relax me. If that old tree and barn could talk...
Ah, thank you for those kind words, Shay, but I struggle with landscapes these days. I just can't seem to get it right and there as just as many things wrong with this pic as you've listed are right with it.
I'm grateful photography is subjective, that's for sure!
I appreciate the comment!
It is a great barn. It reminds me of the one on our farm where I grew up. Sadly, it isn't there anymore.
