Has-been?

The best description I could think of for this old house is 'has-been'. Surely, it has been a nice house at one time, I am sure. Now it sits lonely and neglected, with no sidewalk or path, no driveway, seemingly no access. I felt sorry for it. The only things I see to dress it up are the pretty green fields and the colorful flowers in front. Could it be that someone lives there? As one viewer said, there is a Satellite Dish on the roof! I may have to go back!

Definitely past its prime! I also noticed the satellite dish. Great capture. V

Beautiful rich colors.

That is awesome. Fantastic composition and color. It looks eerily abandoned except for the dish. V

It's still cute even though it's glory days are past.
Sandy Rich28-Apr-2016 03:54
Wonderful color and light. I'm sure there are untold stories for us to imagine.

You could fixer up, maybe it's to late, good find Vern. V

A gorgeous image with beautiful light and color and so moody. Love your description. V

It certainly look like it dates back to the 30's or so.

The colors are amazing! It has curtains like someone might live there. Perhaps there is a back door and a person may enter that way. I would be careful investigating too closely though!

Great find and shot, Voted.

Super capture of this scene & scenery of this "lonely" house! :)
Walter Otto Koenig27-Apr-2016 15:17
Cool find, somehow beautiful in this state. I see no electricity hook up. Might be worth going back to Vern. Looking forward to more. "V"

I see a lot of these old broken-down homes and sometimes wonder about what happened to the people who used to live there.
Nick Paoni27-Apr-2016 14:24
What a great find and so well photographed. V

Cool image. This house deserves a return for more photowork. I'm thinking an "infrared" application with a low level wide angle on a cloudy day. Neat looking house (does not look totally abandoned).

Nostalgic shot.Waiting maybe for somebody who can refurbish it.
globalgadabout27-Apr-2016 13:13
an appealing scene...super colours too, especially on the porch roof..
Jim Coffman27-Apr-2016 13:07
What a fantastic image. You found much beauty in this seemingly abandoned home.
Ruth Voorhis27-Apr-2016 12:36
Such a pretty, idyllic setting, and your shot of it is lovely, Vern.
barbarajoy27-Apr-2016 12:01
Yes, once was but still charming in its way! Wonderful composition. V
Roger Bailey27-Apr-2016 11:11
Maybe once a lovely home, a super image.
Jack Hoying27-Apr-2016 11:07
I bet it was a nice place at one time!
Stephanie27-Apr-2016 11:07
I love your capture of this home Vern! My guess is that someone does still live there! VVV
Yvonne27-Apr-2016 11:04
Well it still has windows and a door, so maybe someone does live there! Love your composition Vern, shows it off so well. v
Helen Betts27-Apr-2016 09:46
It does look a bit run down, although that satellite dish would certainly indicate something. Well spotted and captured, Vern.
joseantonio27-Apr-2016 07:13
well seen and captured with these beautiful colors.V
Long Bach Nguyen27-Apr-2016 06:52
lovely and colors
Laura Milholland27-Apr-2016 06:41
It is a very pretty setting, but does look like it has seen better days. I do love all those wildflowers in front!
Bea.27-Apr-2016 06:32
Such a pretty house, trying to look cheerful despite looking deserted.
Pauline27-Apr-2016 06:27
this is lovely Vern

'has-been'...for sure! :)
My fave today! V

Interestingly, despite its deserted state, it has a satellite TV dish.
Dan Greenberg27-Apr-2016 05:52
The colors and light in this are stunning! What a wonderful scene, at least for me. You caught it perfectly at the perfect time. ~BV~
