Happy birds

Sometimes it’s interesting to note the spots the birds choose to hang out around Onondaga Lake Park. I don’t know what, if anything, does or does not spill out of that big, round conduit at the shoreline.

Well maintained

A safe visit to Onondaga Lake Park revealed this low, wide Rose of Sharon. It strikes quite a different stance than the tall version in front of our house. Hmmmmmm.

The finest cuts

My dear wife Karen gathered up pretty blooms from our gardens and arranged them just right for the kitchen. August casts its spell.
