I would have tried for a better photo of this barn but the owner didn't seem pleased that I was photographing it. I was at a crossroads right in front of the barn and she actually drove over to where I was and asked me why I was taking a picture. I told her I thought it a beautiful barn with the quilt square on it, and she was sort of surprised. In our area, the quilt barns are a tourist attraction and many people stop to take photos. Maybe I was the first to stop at hers. I don't know. But I didn't hang around. :)

Great quilt barn! If I'm on a public road I take all the shots I want. Who cares what someone thinks. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit unnerving for you but I'm guessing the owner was worried about why you were taking pictures. Everyone is so cautious today. It's a beautiful barn though with it's quilt. I'm glad you were able to snap a photo.
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful quilt barn. There was an article in country magazine about a quilt barn. I think they are a great idea. thanks for sharing Anne.
ReplyDeletehow embarrassing! when you own a beautiful barn like this, people are going to stop and get photos!
ReplyDeleteI love barn quilts and when we built our barn that was the first thing I did was to paint one. I'm sure she was just a bit worried as to why you were taking a photo of her barn.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, I was just a bit confused at her aggressiveness since they really are tourist attractions in our area. But I was happy to get the one photo. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Felicia, At a local tourist center there are maps for the quilt barns in our area. You can drive all through the mountains and foothills, discovering where they are. There are many of them. Each one I have stopped at to take a picture, the owners have been friendly, until this one.
ReplyDeleteHey Tanya, Yes, it was a tad disconcerting. She also had some gorgeous horses in the field. I only managed one photo of them and it didn't turn out well. :(
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, I have always wanted to paint one for our barn. I hopped over to your blog again and I left a comment on one of your posts. I think it might be your barn quilt, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad, but with the way things are nowadays, people are suspicious of cameras pointed at their homes or property. This is a gorgeous barn..I love the quilt design.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great barn! Maybe she's hiding something...
ReplyDeleteLove your barn photo and the gorgeous quilt. It is so sad, that today we live in a world where everyone has to be so careful and aware even when it's so innocent.
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented with your camera.
Have a wonderful last few days of October.
Hugs
Hi Marie, Thanks! LOL :D
ReplyDeleteHi Celestina Marie, It is sad. I know there are reasons to be cautious and I'm sure she didn't mean to come across as unfriendly. Thank you for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteTerri, You are so right that folks are much more cautious about cameras than they used to be. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteNice find! Thanks for getting the shot for us! I don't like the residents seeing me take photos, but I need to get over that. I've never had anyone approach me though.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! The experience did give me pause, but hopefully it won't happen again.
