Oh Nikki!!!
I'm so jealous!!! I love barns, but the ones with the quilt pieces seem extra special. Of all the times, hours, miles we spent driving through Iowa on our way to Minnesota, I never had the chance to get any shots of these barns...or covered bridges for that matter! What a lovely, summertime in the country shot!!! LOVE IT!!

Wonderful summer light in this beautiful country scene, Nikki...great comp and details. I saw several of these barns with the quilt emblems driving home from KY and so wanted to photograph them...had a new puppy in tote, so couldn't... I'll rather enjoy yours vicariously...very nice!
