FOCUSING ON ANYTHING but the barn on a farm site proves difficult for me during drive-by shoots.

So why fight the natural farm girl instinct? I don’t.

 

Barn in Wisconsin 97

 

Along Wisconsin State Highway 21, I’ve spotted some mighty fine barns in the past few years of traveling that forever stretch of roadway between Tomah and Oshkosh.

Strong barns with stone foundations.

 

Barn in Wisconsin 109

 

Barns with character.

 

Barn in Wisconsin 116

 

And barns that, for their mammoth size, overwhelm all other buildings on a farm site.

 

Barn in Wisconsin 106

 

Occasionally another farm building grabs my attention.

But, oh, how I love barns.
