All the rocks you need

More than plants and trees … My dear wife Karen and I chuckled when we thought about how we’d looked for a small bag of tiny rocks for a mini spot on our front lawn a few weeks ago. Look at the supply we could have chosen from at Ontario Orchards. We’d decided upon sand…

To Ontario Orchards

A pleasant surprise. When my dear wife Karen and I took our annual drive north to the popular apple farm stand Ontario Orchards, we were met by a new addition to the now-sprawling spread. The folks have added an orchard to the other side of the parking lot. We decided to stroll a bit before…

Moon over the Syracuse Mets

We spun fast. There was more than baseball to admire when the family headed to our hometown Syracuse Mets’ final homestand of the season. Over the first base grandstand for a fleeting moment sat a gorgeous full moon. I was able to capture it with my iPhone while the home team was at the plate.…

Night and day

Backyard beauty. Our moon was full and bright recently, in time for a big and bountiful harvest. The camera on my new iPad was up to the occasion. On the line. The next morning, that full moon had swung over to the corner of our front yard, down by our new lake view. And the…

Looking beyond the bench

There is a there out there. I appreciate then way they situate the benches on the shore of Onondaga Lake Park. Ready for anything. They figure folks like to look this way and that while resting from their activity.

On the other side

The road to somewhere. I saw the county’s tram go past on the paved side of the two recreational paths during my Onondaga Lake Park stroll, but I missed it with my iPhone camera. Anyway, I like this cloud shot setting off the road to the east way better.

Enjoy the space

My space. Why is this place cool? Walk this way, so many people think on the left path at Onondaga Lake Park. Or right path, if you’re coming from the west, of course.
