Drift away

Give me the beat, boys. How close are these fallen branches to becoming driftwood, I wonder during my November Onondaga Lake Park stroll. Sure, the Dobie Gray classic goes through my brain.

One little bird

Don’t worry, ‘bout a thing. Peaceful I feel with lifelong favorite songs running through my head, appreciating crisp weather and blue skies and Onondaga Lake Park. Thank you, Bob Marley, for allowing me to alter this one.
