Photographed* in Marquette County, Wisconsin, on a "century farm" (owned by the same family for 100 years) where this weekend I enjoyed a delightful lunch in the shade of old trees in the front yard. The current occupants have decorated their barn in a manner consistent with their interest in butterflies.
On the far left is a barn quilt depicting a stylized butterfly. To the right of that are wooden appliques representing each species of butterfly that has been seen on the farm - handcrafted at a scale of 1 foot to 1 inch. It's not only an artistic accomplishment, but a documentation of a remarkable "life list" of species from one location, reflecting the owners' devotion to maintaining a wide variety of habitats and plants on their farm.
*marginal quality image because it was backlit on a bright summer day.
