People will look pretty good, too
Looking along the Onondaga Lake shoreline during my January morning work break walk, I think of how people love it here come spring and summer. And I look forward to the warm feeling.
Boats will look pretty good between the trees, too
Hey, I think during my January morning work break walk, the warm weather return of the boats will look pretty good framed between these two trees come the end of May, too. Dream on, I will.
I spy the Syracuse skyline
On a clear January morning break walk, one can look to the east down the Onondaga Lake shoreline and appreciate the Syracuse skyline forefront, country hills behind. It’s quite pretty, I think before I head back to the warmth of the library.
Boats will return … not soon
Walking at the Onondaga Lake Marina in January, the return of the boats to their warm-weather berths seems awfully far away. I’m rooting for Memorial Day …
A tree-lined winter scene
I will keep my eyes out for eagles as I walk past the inviting-looking winter-bare trees along the shores of Onondaga Lake. The limbs look perfect for a rest for any eagles hanging around.’
I’ll walk carefully
When I think about slippery ice to avoid when I walk along Onondaga Lake Park’s paths, yes, it’s sidewalks and other walkways that can get covered that come first to my mind.
Now there’s some ice to avoid
The sign I showed yesterday warned about the thin ice. I knew if I looked hard enough I’d find some building up at the Onondaga Lake Marina. No time for boating or walking out there. I’ll stick to my shore strolls.
Looks like good advice
The winter sign hanging at the Onondaga Lake Marina makes lots of sense in January. Even without an obviously big ice buildup, I’ll keep my distance.
No color to the roses now
The backyard roses are suddenly looking much more seasonal. Up and down this winter has been for so many reasons.
No hands on deck
With all the walking to and from the door done by cherished rescue mutt Ellie B, I don’t have to grab a shovel to help her make her way. Yet. Right?
