PhotoTime Tuesday..... Rural

PhotoTime Tuesday..... Rural



This farm has a whole lot of cows...
...and a roadside vegetable stand. The veggie sales are on the honor system. Choose and bag your choices and put the money in the padlocked box. It was a dairy farm at one time evidenced by the white shed at left of the old barn. It was once a milk house where the milk was handled and stored until picked up by the purchaser. Milk was not pasteurized here... they had a separator which separated most of the cream from the milk. This way the farmer could sell the cream for whipping cream and butter and the milk for drinking.

I really like the style of this old barn. Matter of fact, we were on a photo shoot... looking for interesting barns and farm buildings. It was difficult making my choice for PhotoTime.

I got the third shot at a petting farm just a few miles from where we live. We noticed the sign on their property near the freeway and had to visit. For a small fee people bring their children to see and pet the farm animals and for an additional fee... go for a hayride. Click any barn for the big picture.
