Thank you for expanding our lake view

It’s down there, too. Earlier this summer, I began seeing and hearing busy workers clearing trees and brush to the left side of the town offices on our street. I thanked them, and the boss told me they were going to get the hillside but good. And a zoom. Now that they’re done, my dear…

Another game

Take us out to the ball game. A double header on a sunny weekend when KP is up from Atlanta? Perfect when he joins Elisabeth, George Three and I take in some baseball. It makes it even better that the promotion in the second game led to the home team going back to the former…

Decades in the making

We still got it. When KP comes back up from Atlanta, Tater, Nolan and I surely must join him on a golf course. Sure, it might rain a hole or three. No matter. It’s a great time getting four longtime friends together again to talk about life like time doesn’t pass and take those swings…

Whatever floats yours

Looking good. I really like taking photos of the boats that gather at Onondaga Lake Marina. Going out on boats, though, is really a task for me. I have to secure the seasickness patch and stick it behind my ear a day beforehand. Or else. This I learned growing up as a seasick lad out…

Stumped

Thank you for a life well-lived. I know this wide stump must have been one heck of a tree on the shore of our Onondaga Lake. I wish I remember more about it before it met this fate.

Hello over there

Every lake has another side. I can’t help but gaze at the opposite shore every time I stroll my side of Onondaga Lake. It’s my nature to also think about Over There.

Humans vs. nature

Take it with you, please. I can understand the leaves and such left on the August ground by nature. The empty bottles rudely discarded by humans, not so much.

Dock spot

Hanging out. So many framing opportunities for the eye on my August stroll at Onondaga Lake Park. The draping limb allows just enough space for the dock down there and those appreciating it to peek through.

Fixed for speed …

Go get ‘em! The biking/skating/serious running pat at Onondaga Lake Park has been repaved, I see during an August stroll. I imagine a lot of happier users, though I still walk on the path to the left set up for slower-goers.
