Barn Quilt

 It's that time of the year again.  Usually it's difficult to take pics this time of year because it would be only snow on the deck, snow on the road, snow on a fencepost, snow on ... well, you get the idea.  Last year and this year we have very little snow but it turns out there still isn't a lot of new stuff to photograph.  So I'm resorting to my stash of 'Barn Quilts' that I took last year.  I posted around 20 of them last year but over the summer more popped up.  If you remember a 'barn quilt' was a figurative pattern painted on barns in the U.S. when settlers started coming from Germany.  Usually the pattern is geometric like a quilt block.  These 'barn quilts' aren't on barns but dotted around the village on wooden planks.  It was a fun to grab my camera in the afternoon and go 'barn quilt' hunting around the village.   These signs are coming further out into the surrounding countryside now.  Some designs look like duplicates of others I've already posted.  This one above the mechanic's shop for example looks a lot like the one that is hung on one of the well stations in the village.  There are slight variations though, this one is larger, more stripes, and the star pattern is a bit different. Hope you enjoy the pics and if you visit the village maybe you'll want to go 'hunting' too.
