So that’s how they’re finding the bad lake stuff

On a pre-work stroll around Onondaga Lake Park, I noticed this big boat in the Marina parking lot. What is ATL, I wondered. The accompanying truck gave me answers. They apparently are finding the invasive species noted on the contraption I showed you in yesterday’s post. Work hard, ATL staffers.

Plain enough instructions

Those fishing in Onondaga Lake must watch what they pull in, I discovered during my recent pre-work stroll. I hope they clear the lake of what’s not good for it.

A Tiger Lilly blooms again

I can’t remember how many years ago George Three included this Tiger Lilly as one of my dear wife Karen’s presents for Mother’s Day. Up it comes again. I love these annual deliveries.

What’s to come back up the hill?

My safe walk done, I turn back toward the rest of the day. I parked my car in the library’s underground garage, where a solid day of satisfying work awaits. First will come a stroll through two blocks of the Village of Liverpool. I’ll breathe all of it in.
