This morning I drove to work with my camera in my hand. Carol took some photo's Monday, but she is too concerned with how each one looks. I know that I am not really making 'photographs' - just snapshots.

No squad meetings or calls tonight so I have a bit more energy. This is the view from the kitchen window. Amazing that the violet keeps blooming, eh?

Our only filling station. Gas is not cheap here. It is a long way from the oil well.

I said that I was driving and my camera has no gyroscope - so what you see is what you get. These are some of the homes along Broad St.

You can tell by all the electric meters that this home has been chopped into apartments.

You have to poke your nose into traffic to see past the snowbanks at times.

The Baptist Church.

Bay windows are popular in the village. The shrubs have quite a load of snow on them.

In the summer the left side cools us with custard and ice cream - on the right is a year round laundromat. If you have the energy to do so you can wash your car while your clothes are washing - the car wash is right out back.

These old tractors really put you out in the elements. The house behind the tractor is one of the oldest in the village. It is undergoing some renovation.

Morris hosts the Otsego County Fair even though the county seat is Cooperstown - about 25 miles away.

Melody Pines Studio - used to repair fancy recording equipment. I don't know if they still do or not.

 

Two views of the fair grand stand - nearly hidden in the trees and on the far side of the 1/2 mile track. You are looking through part of the cemetary and across the Butternut Creek. The creek is not visible.

On the road to the 'transfer station' - that used to be the dump is the building on the right. Where you can complete the cycle from ashes to ashes before being carried to your final resting place if you so desire.

Formerly the Carriage Inn - now a Legion Post watering hole and site of ox roasts, chicken barbecues and horseshoe throwing contests.

A state plow with the wing down finishing up with clearing off some overnight snow. He has quite a line of traffic behind him.

Just some views off to the side as we drive up Patrick Hill. The farm in the picture just above is active. This time of year they keep the milkers in all year so you don't see any.

These evergreens were planted. When they get this size they can be an effective wind break.
