Throwback Theme Thursday: Barns

Wow, look at how sunny and pleasant and wondiferous it is in Michigan right now!  I mean there's the green grass and the literally cloudless sky, ahemCariDonaldson, and the child with nary a jacket to be seen...



And also it's September 24th, right?

Sigh.  I just couldn't bring myself to take or even post a snowy picture, y'all.  I am doney doney done done with that scene.  So I dug this one up from the archives and it makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

If you wanna know approximately what it actually looks like outside right now, my 11 year old, Lizzy, posted some barn photos that she took from the window of our moving vehicle.  I set the camera to shutter priority (is that what it's called?) and cranked the speed up as fast as it would go so that they wouldn't come out blurry, and let her do the rest.  Of course this technique only works if the sun is 14 tinches from the earth and glaring off the snow, but luckily it was, so voila!  Enjoy.

  1. Your daughter took some amazing photographs!

    I'm totally with you on being done, done, done with winter. And I'm in VA, so my tolerance must be very low.

  2. I agree with Amelia, your daughter's photos are beautiful. It's overcast and rainy here in Washington State so those sunny snow photos have me feeling a little jealous.... even though I know it wouldn't take long for me to be over the snow too.

  5. I notice there's only a VERY TINY SECTION OF SKY BEING SHOWN in your alleged "cloudless sky" photograph.

  6. I am going to pretend I live in Michigan September for the rest of the day. I'll just walk around the house muttering "It's beautiful outside."

  7. *sigh* All you people down there hogging all the snow and cold. I have green grass. GREEN grass. In Alaska. In January. This morning when I got up the temperature was 27*F. That's below freezing for the first time in weeks! A short warm up this time of year is not unusual, but 50 degree temps for weeks is making us all twitchy. Send that snow north! ;-)

    Okay, rant over, LOL! Love the bright sunny barn photo!

  8. Send us some snow to So Cal!!!!! Please!!! Or even rain!! We got DRIZZLE for the first time in January today, and the temp didn't break 65, and everybody was FREAKING OUT. We're totally getting deprived of our seasons over here. Stupid weather needs to get it's act together and distribute things a little more evenly, right??
