As I said many times, my home state of
MICHIGAN
is one of the prettiest states in the country!
It's filled with endless photo ops.
My daughter Lindsay and I rediscovered this
heavenly oasis just two minutes from our house.
It's not a barn...but thought the
would enjoy it.
Tucked back in the woods...
yep, we had to hike through heavy brush
to get here...
someone was trying to create a
little old-fashioned village
hoping to attract tourists.
They moved this old covered bridge...
And, created a pond.
Down a dirt path they set
this tiny historic church.
I loved the rustic white.
Down the path a bit farther
is this old General Store.
The weeds and wildflowers
are growing through the
front porch!
A perfect place
to capture some photos
of my precious daughter.
I only have her for a few more weeks
before she heads off to grad school.
I've been trying some new photo techniques.
Some I like and some I don't.
The old buildings were neat, but
the utter nature and tranquility...
is what really enchanted me.
I can remember bringing the kids here
a long, long time ago.
It never became a tourist attraction,
so it's still
ALONE...
in the woods.
The perfect
QUIET
place to
DREAM...

Looks like a beautifully wonderful place... I'd love to have a place like that here! I wonder what happened that it didn't fully develop. Love the bridge, the church, the store... it's so cool! That's something my daughter & I would check out, too...
It may not be a barn, but I'm going to link it to Barn Charm, anyway... =)
Thanks so much for sharing this place w/ us all
heheheee I'm one step behind ya... you beat me to it! LoL! =)

I could see in Lindsay how lovely you must have been in your younger years and… still look great until now.
What a fantastic wee place you have re-discovered Jill, I wonder why it never made it as a tourist area?
Your daughter looks so natural and willing to participate in your photo shoots now, I remember you had to cajole her into it lol. Have a great weekend.
