barn charm - chicken fun

It was a quiet weekend in Vermont -
and after the devastation of Irene last year,
Vermonters are understandably apprehensive over Sandy's impending visit.
Here in Massachusetts, our Governor has declared a state of emergency
- so - we're all just waiting it out...


After running a few errands on Saturday -
including refueling at our favorite coffee shop,
we spent the afternoon exploring.


These chickens required a quick u-turn.
Seriously, I think I'm enamored!


So much so that I forgot to get a great shot of the barn...



Quite the little personalities!

And - I think they're very lucky to have such a beautiful home!

I'm joining Tricia at Bluff Area Daily

 
Thanks for dropping in!

  1. I think the speckled black and white is a Wyandotte. I used to have one -- gorgeous! Stay safe Karen.

  5. Wonderful rural wildlife!
    The big red barn and the wooden shed all in the background but nevertheless charming!
    It does look like a beautiful spot!

    Here in WV we are under a state of emergency as well. It's the waiting I think that's the worse. :)

  8. Beautiful photos! I love pics of chickens and barns. The red barn sure is huge! If you count the 'basement' level there are 5 levels all together! It's a well kept and attractive farm including the chickens. Pamela

  17. These are fantastic captures... love the chickens, of course, & the rock walls & foundations in the background. I can see the barn & it looks phenomenal... The history in New England is unbelievable, I'd love to visit up there.

    I'm also admiring the overall color of these shots... is that in the edit or was it actually that color? It's really beautiful & makes the scenes more interesting! =)

    1. Your question made me wonder whether I'd boosted the color or not - I generally don't because I don't have the confidence in my eye for that. For these, I think I just used the auto-correct in Pic Monkey, but a couple might have a texture added.
