An Old Pen...

While this does not necessarily meet the definition of a barn, it was used to house chickens and other small farm animals at one time. 

   
Although it has seen better days, I love the character of this patched up little pen.   Looks like a great spot for hide and seek!

For more great barns be sure to visit Tricia.    The sky was so clear and blue that particular day and this photo will also be my submission to Midweek Blues.

    The pen has a lot of character too.

  19. This pen made me smile. It reminds me of a collage. It also looks very green, nothing is wasted, but reused. :-)

  20. That's definitely a barn to me! And so painterly;)

  21. Very nice! I think a chicken coop classifies as a barn even if they are usually small. Some are actually quite big and the style is different than your typical barn. It fits in Barn Charm, at any rate!
