Farming in New York

One of the main things that struck me,
driving around in New York,

was how MUCH land was just lying fallow.




It was shocking.



100's of acres of fallow land.



Land not being used.



Just sitting there.


Feeding the deer.

So different from here, where evry square inch is used.



For something.




There?



Not so much.






So, today I'm going to post pictures of one of the very few "farms" I saw.





Now, these were taken from a moving Jeep,
so don't expect greatness,
mmkay?






Here it is on the approach.

Here's the front entry way...

And the side view.


Now, you may not believe that people live here.
But they do.

I saw them.


Plus, check out the satellite dish......

The barnyard...

And the cows.

So there you go.


A lesson in farming.

The rest of Sacket's Harbour

Finally, eh?

Did I mention there were a LOT, a lot of these?
One flew over like every 10 minutes.

A Pretty Tree

Some Historical something that Donna said I should take a picture of.

The Historic Battlefield.

The Historic sidewalk

The Historic Picket Fence
with some wicked cool Depth of Field going on.

More Wicked Depth of Field.

The picture to explain....

what this is.

A picture to show the view from the cliff.

More Depth of Field shots...
this time of rocks.

Same rocks

And what was Donna doing while I was capturing all these amazing DOF shots?

She was napping in the sun.

She bores easily.

She finds something interesting....

Oh! Look, Dad!
Will this one do?

Okay, so this is embarrassing.
This shirt always makes me look fat.
As does the cannon.

The trees, too.


Just to let you know, I lasted the 8 seconds.....

Yee-HAW!

Donna did too.

Our mount....
a worthy opponent.

Pretty view.

And another.

Donna in a tree.
She hurt her chin.

This tree has......

a really BIG belly button.


What did you think I was going to say?


Sheesh.


Get your mind out of the gutter, people.

One of the neighbourhood houses.



I'd live here if it came with at least 5 acres.
And only if.

That's it till next time!
