Last weekend the family met at the Carpenter Farm on US 223 to pick out a few pumpkins. Matt and Kelly Carpenter do a great job providing folks with a great taste of farm life. I spent my time taking photos of their ponies, goats, chickens, corn and pumpkins. I like this photo not so much for the corn but the deep red barn door. Somebody told me that most barns are red because blood was used as a paint dye before latex was invented. I cant help but think of the all the things this photo symbolizes…..Blood, Crucifixion, life, death, etc. The most obvious symbol is that of Fall. The birds have stopped their singing….no need for song when breeding season is over. But, Fall sings. Fall sings not a mellow tune but a loud rock and roll scream of colors. Of the 200 photos I took this week this bold red photo is my favorite.
