... despite the 6 inches of snow we received the day/night before,
Rick and I decided a "road trip" was overdue and much needed!
We love to travel off-the-beaten-path, so we expected the roads would be less them perfect.
For the most part the roads were great, the winter Spring beauty was superb!
An old barn make-over.
Some one has made this old barn into a beautiful home, I only wish I could see the inside.
We made our way to Hastings, MN
A small river town of about 23,000 located in southern Minnesota.
Historic downtown is laced with beautiful old buildings & unique architecture.
A photographers dream.
On our drive we went through the village of Welch.
I'm guessing that long ago this was perhaps a school.

Memories came to us as we drove by Welch ski village.
As teenagers, Rick and I used to ski here,.
We were avid skiers back then, and later introduced skiing to our kids.
Eventually we made it to the mountains of Colorado to ski as a family.... it all started here :)
I Love to photograph old barns...
This one will go in the books as one of my new favorites.
Do you see the black cow lookin' at me? I also love the contrasting green tractor,
and the cupola that sits on top of the barn roof.
I'm captivated with this one
Stay tuned for more road trip fun.......
I can see why that barn image is one of your new favorites. I like everything about it, including the contrasts you note. Beautiful beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I understand the need for a road trip because I seriously NEED one. After missing Izzy's birthday party last weekend, I am in need of something to lift my spirits. Maybe this weekend, with temps predicted to be in the glorious 50s.
Missing a grandchild birthday is hard I'm sure, I'm glad you had that special time with Izzy before her birthday, but still.....
