Mahoney Road, In The Town Of Brasher

It was an uncommonly warm, sunny day - a perfect day for a driving tour of rural roads. I was running out of nearby roads to explore, though, so I checked a map and decided to try a section of Mahoney Road in the town of Brasher. You know how I love ample porches. Well, I must say that this house won permanent first prize in the porch department. Wouldn't you love to have that raised, wraparound porch from which to see the rural scenery?:

The hay fields hadn't yet greened up much yet, but they were still beautiful:

The cross at the base of that tree struck me as likely a beloved pet's burial site:

A small barn/garage:

And this old farm was nearly a town of its own, with a private lane leading to its cluster of buildings:

There were pine forests behind marshy ditches beside the road:

And this wonderful home which must surely also get a prize for glorious porches:

And a super-duper barn:

Red barn and brown home:

This woodsy home:

And an even more woodsy home, this one set so far back in the trees that I had to use my zoom lens:

There were several marshes along the road and this one provided me with my first hearing of Spring Peepers. But I had places to go and things to do, so I put my camera away and aimed my car homeward:
