My love for the look of old buildings never seems to ebb, and so on a recent evening outing in the country with City Boy we ran across this old barn just before the sun set.
Further down the road were fields with cattle in the distance, and this particular field had some curious cows. Up closer to the road was a barnyard with calves crying loudly. We kind of put two-and-two together and figured out that they were all related.
We could hear a calf bawling more loudly and insistently than the rest, until we turned around and looked behind us to discover that it was, instead, this friendly creature. It was in the field across the road and had come running up to check us out.
I know it’s not the greatest picture, but our new llama friend had surprised me and I got an all-to-quick picture of him/her.
As the sun went down we got a few more pictures and then headed home — these relaxing evenings together make life so pleasant!

Thank you, Frizz — I think it looks kinda neat, too, especially with the old branches hanging off of it.
I am a fan of old, vintage buildings. I think they are irresistibly harming with a very rich past. Love the golden sunset hiding behind the tree.
I couldn’t agree with you more about the charm of old buildings, and I appreciate what you said about the evening sun — I had been regretting going out and taking pictures when the light was so low. But once the pictures were up on the computer I, too, wondered if the setting sun had actually worked to the advantage of the photos. Thanks so much for your positive input!
This remids me of The Holler. We even have the neighboring lamas. Just beautiful Becky!
Llamas are so dang cute! This one acted as thought he would have climbed in our laps if could have gotten to us!
What I’ve seen on your blog about The Holler tells me that there is nothing that can compare! But it’s such a compliment that places around where I live give a hint of the beauty of the Holler — thanks so much Cindy!
What great photos! I love the second one of the barn, looking through the branches and the sun in the background 🙂 you really do have talent! And the lama is very cute 🙂 I do like lamas lol
Thank you, Katy! Llamas do tend to be endearing, don’t they? They seem very curious! Thank you for the kind words, and right back at ya — you are very talented as well!
