A few farm scenes from Northeastern Washington for Tom’s Barn Collective. These shots were taken from the road on the way to our son’s home for some family time together last week and weekend.
Back here in Seattle we enjoyed the last season game for the Seattle Sounders v. Colorado Rapids.
A Sunday afternoon game and the sun came out to warm us after several days of rain. The tifo for this game was exceptional. Tifo [ˈtiːfo] is the Italian word for the phenomenon of supporting a sport team. In some countries (but not in Italy) it is mostly used as a name for any choreography displayed by fans in the stands of an arena or stadium in connection with a sport event, mostly as part of an association football (soccer) match.
We especially enjoyed our time this afternoon since the Sounders won 3-0 and we now get a bye before we head to a playoff game.
Hope you all are having a good weekend and that it ends well.

That autumn-coloured tree just glows in the landscape. Beautiful!

Now those are hardworking barns! Love their setting too! And that third shot with the tree seems like it is glowing! Beautiful!

Nice farm pictures.
Congrats to the Sounders…. and thank you for the new word ‘tifo’ … blogging is so educational )) … and so much fun. Love the countryside — it’s a pretty drive for you guys, with an amazing reward when you get there.
Such pretty scenery this time of year! I think everything looks prettier in the fall!
