I posted this photo a couple of years ago on my photoblog long before Tricia's barn meme. I thought it was worthy of repeating here for those Barn Charm folks who appreciate these wonderful old relics of the American landscape. When it comes to charm this one fits the bill for me. It sits high atop a hill with wide open sky behind it with its bright red color contrasting beautifully with the green field of grass that surrounds it. The charming old fashioned lightning rods point to the wispy clouds overhead. The outline of three windows can barely be seen and my mind wistfully wonders what the rest of this little charmer looks like. The barn is adorned with a wooden quilt patch named Bold Star. Given the bold statement this little barn makes sitting high on the hill the owners couldn't have chosen a more appropriate pattern to adorn it with.Posted for Barn Charm and Ruby Tuesday.

I remember this and even started searching for barns in my area with quilts. I was amazed at how many there were.
Love this one Carletta :)
That is gorgeous, Carletta... I love seeing old barns.
Have a great Labor Day.
Hugs,

Ah! You know I'd like this one with the barn quilt! Very charming!
The sea of green sits below the majesty of this barn. Perfect in red, and with the quilt pattern, this is so stylish, its charm is lies in its functional beauty. So well captured!
Beautiful picture. That red barn really pops against the blue sky and green grass.
Love it! A barn on top a a hill!
Me, too, I have posted from my archives long before barn charm.
I love the simple shape of this barn. The quilt square makes it really special.
Oh, it is lovely, Carletta....I love barns whether high on a hill, or nestled down in a valley...or on the wide open prairie.
I'm beginning to see a few quilt patches in Upstate New York but still NONE that I've seen in Canada.
definitely worthy of revival! I like it!
Love the colors and composition - very nice!

I like the quilt patch. I don't think anyone does that up this way.
Beautiful shot!
Happy RT!
Mine's here.
Although I like your barn photo a lot, I love the photo in your header. One of my personal favourite photos to take is the road in front of me. I especially love the trees lining the road. Where was the photo taken?
Lovely shot of the barn peeking over the hill at you!
Charming barn. Love the angle.
That barn looks so lonely sitting there. It really is gorgeous even if it is lonely. :)
I love to see the barns with the quilt squares on them.

I love it...I don't see any barns with quilt squares around here.
I love how the barn sits up there tall and proud on that lush green hill. Pretty sky too. Great shot.
