Lush green, trees heavy with the burden of summer leaves create a dark canvas for a red barn. Here along the Sumner-Buckley Highway the barn of a small family farm sits nestled in a field of grass against broadleaf Maple trees.
I’ve noticed just the twinges of color change here in the last week or so, hinting of the colors that will soon shout out to be noticed in a few more weeks. I love the seasons as they change, although here in the Pacific Northwest (more specifically western WA), we have four distinct seasons, but winter is mostly filled with rain not snow. With the cooler mornings and shorter days, now 13 hours, 19 minutes (down from 15 hours, 59 minutes in June), I am enjoying the late summer weather.
The last bit on the house exterior will be finished today. That was easy! Not! But so thankful it’s done and it does look nice, too.

Beautiful! Love reds barns framed by greens and this one takes top spot!
I love the way this one is nestled back in the lush greenery. A beautiful landscape. genie
Looks like Fall! You found a nice old barn in a great setting.
The wonderfully rich colours of late summer are a treat for the senses. I’m so pleased the seasons change, keeping all new and fresh.
Beautiful colors in this scene! It looks like a painting.
I’m hoping you might get a chance to show us this beauty when fall colors give it a different backdrop.
A lovely landscape. It’s particularly cool how the grains in the foreground transition from golden brown to the lush green. I’d like to check out the barn!
I am looking forward to the color change, although I love the summer! This is a nice shot – soft, inviting colors.
