I was touring Maple Ridge Road in the town of Brasher, NY (see also Part 1, posted yesterday) and stopped to watch these Holstein calves:
There was a cluster of barns, but one of them had collapsed:
I was not taking photos of the suburban style homes, but took this one to illustrate the move of non-farmers to country living. It would be a short commute to several larger towns to work each day:
This old farm house might have looked abandoned, but the mowed lawn and tractor out back suggested that it is still occupied:
A neat and tidy family farm:
This appeared to be an old barn, being rebuilt:
A large dairy barn and silo, apparently no longer in use:
This house reminded me of my aunt's farm house in Oregon, where I first developed my love of cattle, chickens and rural life in general. Notice the silo out back:
A silo and barn, both in excellent shape:
The bucket underneath this tractor suggested to me that it was being repaired:
A very tall barn alongside the road:
A woodsy home, nestled behind White Pines. And yet there was still more to see on Maple Ridge Road. I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
