Sayles Road In Moira, New York - Part 2

I was touring Sayles Road in the town of Moira (see also Part 1, yesterday) and snapping pictures of picturesque old farms and barns:

A few beef cows munched hay next to a stock trailer:

And this classic farm house sat up on a rise:

A double barn, set right next to the road:

And a herd of dairy cattle:

Perfectly neat and tidy, with a modern barn and two tall silos:

Unusual barns:

A family farm of great beauty. But I had come to the end of Sayles Road and it was time for me to return home. I put my camera away and began driving back to where my own animals were waiting:

Sayles Road In Moira, New York - Part 1

The day dawned cloudy and gray, but a surprising 40 degrees. We were predicted to drop to 10 degrees as the day progressed, so I grabbed my camera and drove to the town of Moira to find some picturesque rural scenery before it got too cold. I chose Sayles Road, which began with an American Legion hall:

There were a lot of suburban looking homes at the beginning of the road, but I figured you have those in your own neighborhood. I was looking for scenic old farms and I began to find them as I drove:

There was a motocross park:

And lots of old farms:

This must surely have been an Amish farm, judging by the clothes hung out to dry and the perfectly clean and orderly nature of the property:

This place looked friendly and inviting to me:

A handsome herd of either Ayrshires or Guernseys:

A tall silo, big tractors and hay bales:

A classic old barn which still appeared to be used for storing hay. But there was more to see on Sayles Road and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
