I call this barn Mike because years ago there used to be a home on this site. No, the owner's name wasn't Mike. It was Bob. Bob had a boy. He was about my age. No, his name wasn't Mike. It was Jeff. My late father bought a coon dog from Bob and the dog's name was Mike. I guess I could have said that in the beginning. This is the barn where my photo Barn Door was taken. You can see the purple paint on the post in the foreground. This denotes there is "No Hunting" or "Trespassing," allowed. In other words KEEP OUT. I did on this shot, but I fudged a little on the shot of the door and wasn't there too long. I used a fast shuffle speed.

I might add that Mike was a great coon dog and won many trophies for my dad. You could hear him barking and howling when he was on the trail of the raccoon. Mike not dad. When Mike ran the coon up a tree and started howling, it really cut through the night air and was music to my dad's ears. My, what a great memory.
