West Potsdam To Morley, New York - Part 3

I'd passed through the hamlet of West Potsdam on my way to Morley, New York and stopped to snap a photo of this family farm in the tiny settlement of Bucks Bridge:

This church had a sign which proclaimed it to be the Old Bucks Bridge Community Church:

This classic old farmstead had a modern fire hydrant out front which, I supposed, meant town water. That's unusual out this way:

A very large cattle barn. I thought it was empty but heard mooing when I stopped to snap the photo:

I made it to my destination in Morley and was on my way home, still taking pictures of the scenery. In fact, I became so wrapped up in what I was doing that I eventually found myself lost and had to put my camera away and concentrate on my driving. But first I had a few more photos to take:

This flock of sheep looked friendly and curious:

Lots of firewood for heating this home:

This old barn was so close to the road that I couldn't get the whole structure in the picture:

A lovely old home which still had Christmas decorations up:

This extensive barn appeared to have been unused in many years:

Beef cattle of many breeds, and most of them watched me with great curiosity. I wondered if they were thinking, "Damn tourists!"

Two horses, neither of which paid much attention to me at all. This was the last picture I took because I had to figure out where I was and how to get home. But it had been a lovely, scenic drive and I hope you enjoyed the photos:

West Potsdam To Morley, New York - Part 2

I was on my way to the town of Morley, but currently in the hamlet of West Potsdam, New York. The houses there were mostly historic:

Most of West Potsdam overlooked farm fields and forests and most homes looked to have begun their existence as farm houses:

It was a lovely day for taking photos of classic rural scenery - as long as I kept the sun behind me. There were photos I couldn't take because the camera would have been looking straight into the sun. I realized after I got home that this was an Amish farm, and there's an Amish man just to the right of the silo base:

This too was an Amish farm, and two men were working out behind the house. I wondered how they got those big logs stacked up. It must have required some heavy equipment:

This classic old church didn't have a sign and I wondered if it was still a church or on its way to becoming a town hall or some other public building:

But West Potsdam was tiny and I had a long way yet to go before I arrived in Morley. So I continued on my way, passing many more scenic old farmsteads:

Set way back behind the trees, this woodsy place might have been a vacation cottage or someone's year 'round home - I couldn't tell:

A beautifully restored old farm house, with firewood and a porch swing:

Two red barns, both is excellent condition:

This old barn was currently being used to store the family's motor home:

Another lovely old farm house:

This equipment shed seemed to house several hay balers:

I passed through a tiny settlement called Bucks Bridge, which included this farm. But there are more photos to share from this scenic drive, and I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
