Barn Charm

This is the one and only clear drive-by shot I got during my more than two hours of driving to Pella the other day.  Whenever I spotted something I wanted to take a photo of, there was usually lots of oncoming traffic and I either didn’t take a shot or I aimed the camera without looking.  Those turned out to be mostly blurry or contained only sky and the car doorframe.  Oh, well, better than being the cause of a news headline such as “Fiery Crash Blamed on Woman Taking Photo for Blog” with the subtitle of “Legislature To Consider Banning Drive-by Photography” with a possible further subtitle of “Blogging To Be Investigated”!

  6. the pale gray of the barn just sets off the beautiful quilt square. I'm liking the contrast.

  7. If you figure it out, let me know. I didn't get a single one to turn out in an 8 hour drive to the coast.

  8. the tent shaped barn looks most unusual - glad you got most of it in your hasty shot.

  9. The shot you did get is lovely! Your news headlines made me laugh. Perhaps a couple of other subtitles--"Should Photo Turn-outs Be Mandatory For All Scenic Barns?" or "Barns Up In Arms Over Invasion of Privacy."

  10. You found a barn with a quilt pattern! I love your "about me." I think that must be why I like blogging so much--weed-free and dust-free! Some days it is really hard to get good shots, no matter how hard we try. Glad you got them safely, and without getting all of us investigated!

  11. LOL! It is much easier to take a drive by photo when one is a passenger in a car! You captured a great barn, non-the-less!

  15. Taking drive-by photos can be hazardous, that's for sure! But I like this barn very much. I'm guessing that it's built into the side of a hill and not really an A-frame. :)
