We had several days of summery weather this week and I saw some fields being hayed. Rain was forecast again starting today so farmers were working against a weather deadline.

Barn at Mains Farm
This barn is located not far from the home in yesterday’s post. The area is called “Mains Farm.” I don’t know if this is the original farmstead but if it isn’t it could certainly date back to that period. Can any locals add details?
This old barn
If I’m not mistaken, this is one of the older barns in this area. It doesn’t look that way. Like any building – especially one that sees much use and wear – it has needed care and maintenance. That it is standing and looks darned good is a testament to the stewardship of the farmers who have owned it.
It’s one of those barns that deserves perfect light on a perfect day for a just right shot. Others have gotten photos of it just so. I hope I will too one of these days.
Under construction
This is a big day for Sequim Daily Photo. Today we push the button to switch this blog to a new server. Until the process is complete there won’t be any new posting. This may be from 24 to 72 hours. There will be a somewhat different look for SDP when it premiers at the new server, with a responsive, user-friendly format. And in the background, my electronic angel and blog salvation, Denton, will put the finishing touches on transferring nearly eight years of blog history. I don’t exaggerate when I say this never could have happened without Denton, a volunteer of the finest and kindest caliber. Now…I keep my fingers crossed until we meet again. TTFN.
Barn and blossoms
Here’s another view from the Skagit Valley, north of Seattle. That bright red stripe in the distance is a tulip field in bloom during the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival last April.
Everyday treat
One of the reasons I love living here is this: Everyday life is surrounded by a beautiful view. This was taken from the parking lot at our veterinarian’s office.
A barn two ways
I didn’t like the wires in this shot and I didn’t want to crop the tree tops. But I loved the warm light. So here it is with “wire pollution.”
I moved in closer to sidestep the wires and the light had changed, just like that. And here it is, a cleaner shot and so-so light. It’s not the first time a shot of his barn has eluded me.
