Alex learned a new word today:

byre (br) n. Chiefly British. A barn for cows.

[Middle English, from Old English bre; see bheu- in Indo-European roots.]

Thank you Mandy.

I love the juxtaposition of the red on stone, and your haiku captures it nicely.

"byre" is a new word for me too! Thanks :)

First, a thank you to Alex for saving me the keystrokes to learn what a "byre" is. Now that I know, yes, a lovely haiga. Perfectly complemented.

This building is really unique. I've never seen a barn in person yet. :p

Megan learned a new word today, too...and she does love that! What a great barn and how steadily the red wood sits on the old stone foundation. Very nice.
