Photos: A winter morning in Genesee County

I left the house early this morning with the hope that despite the cloud cover, we would have some good light.  Last night, the forecast -- I didn't recheck this morning -- was a break in the clouds at 8 a.m. That never happened, and instead by 9, we had the first flurries of snow.

Still, I managed to find some interesting things to photograph.

Above, a dog (if I remember correctly, her name is Diana), an old truck and a barn on Starr Road in Pavilion.

My first stop was an old, apparently abandoned, graveyard on Covell Road, Pavilion.

Also from the graveyard on Covell Road.

Just as it started to snow pretty good, I arrived at a grave site off Route 63 in Bethany that somebody had recently told me about.

As long as I was on Route 63 in Bethany, I thought I'd get a picture of one of my favorite barns. I liked how the snow was just beginning to outline the shingles.

I have been to both grave yard sites. There are Geocaches at each of them. The Covell Rd one has Revolutionary, War of 1812 and Civil War Veterans www.geocaching.com www.opencaching.us

Nice pics, Howard. I grew up not far from the Covell Rd. cemetary. Used to ride my bike up there quite abit. There's a gravestone of two young boys who drowned in the "Allen's Creek." That was the name of the Oatka long before it became the Oatka. Can't remember the date on it. I remember exactly where it is. Maybe I'll go have a look again. Most of the headstones are really hard to read after all these years though.
