This is the farm where my favorite Shire draught horses live and work. You can see these beautiful horses here, here, here, and here.

Corduroy field
I love the winter effect of a shorn field.
Horse housing
Most of the barns I’ve seen around here house typical farming activities or have been converted to other uses. But horses live here too and some of them are housed nicely, as it appears here.
Discovery Trail Farm
There’s an interesting looking building not far from Kitchen Dick Road. (Yes, I know. Funny name. It’s taken from two regional pioneer family names, Kitchen and Dick.) It’s another one of those places that blends into the scenery until someone like a Dear Husband says, “Did you see the airplane in that building?” “A what?”
In an open overhang is the wooden frame of an airplane. Clearly someone’s project. Clearly not going anywhere in the near future. It looks as if it’s been left alone for a good while.
It’s another one of those “I don’t know the story” stories. I’m beginning to realize that comes with the territory when you’re a curious photographer. But if you’re a local or would like to know more about Sequim’s aviation history, here’s a link to an interesting article.
Sold!
This sweet piece of property is within walking distance of much of Sequim’s retail, Walmart, Home Depot, and other businesses. Not far away is a small housing subdivision. I suspect it’s one of Sequim’s heritage farms with at least 5-10 acres of land. A good part of the year there is at least a few head of cattle grazing.
First I noticed “For Sale” signs with “SALE PENDING” on them. Now it says “SOLD.” It’s such a pretty little farm. I hope it continues in agriculture rather than the never ending march of new housing.
Red and standing
This has all the earmarks of a classic: the monitor profile, red color, the trim. It’s still even in good working condition.
The enigma barn again
My new, bigger lens (now affectionately known as “Zookie”) has allowed me a closer look at a barn that I’ve been watching for quite a while now. I first posted a more distant shot here in 2012. I took another look at it earlier this year, here, but wasn’t able to zoom in quite as well as I did recently.
Without trespassing this is about as close as I can get. Closer shots allow a better view but still can’t tell the history of this crumbling barn.
