I was on my way from the feed store to the village of Potsdam when I decided to take a detour and snap some pictures. I turned onto County Route 47 in Stockholm and passed this tractor, apparently used in a firewood and/or fence post cutting operation. The marked trees look to be small Eastern White Cedar, so I'm guessing they were cutting fence posts:
I crossed over the west branch of the St. Regis River. You can see an island in the river right there:
This small, well kept barn didn't seem to have any animals using it at the moment:
And there were rolling corn and hay fields, surrounded by woodlands:
An old farm house, modernized and winterized:
A fence post operation. Eastern White Cedar grows abundantly around here and some farmers use their woodlots to produce fence posts:
This roadside stand appeared to be in the middle of a renovation:
A series of barns and additions, with a green shingled well:
A comfortable looking farm house:
Two outbuildings, one without sides:
Another farm house with a well:
This old building looked as if it might have been someone's tiny house once upon a time, but I couldn't tell. It was fascinating. But there was yet much more to see on Route 47, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
