Waiting for boat weather

Picturing other seasons … Winter is pretty, yes. But I surely do enjoy wearing shorts, a T-shirt and comfortable footwear as I take note of the interesting boat names in the Onondaga Lake Marina during the warm months.

One slip won’t freeze

Churning water runs deep. I’d expect that the Onondaga Lake Marina boat slips would have to be dug deep enough to allow clearance for the bigger boats that take up the shore slips come the warm months. And this would affect the freezing when deep winter finally arrives. Not that I’m an expert on any…

Working the angle

Nature’s work. I couldn’t quite tell the original location of this leaning limb as I worked my stroll around Onondaga Lake Park. I simply appreciated the angles.

Bench and birds

Comfort zone. The Onondaga Lake birds appreciated the ice buildup, practically begging for an audience. Wait, they were in a perfect spot for that bench …

The ice was coming

Crusty start. The curious side of Retired-Guy-I strolled around Onondaga Lake Park early this week, before the thaw rolled over our part of the world. I wanted to see how much of our dominant water feature had frozen over, to start my photo-taking. The ice was creeping out there. But I would not venture out…

A foggy January morning

Visibility, less. This, that and the other thing, the weather guy told me before the clock had hit 6 Thursday morning. No snow, a bit of rain, temps still in the 40s. Not bad for late January, thought I. Then he mentioned fog. Hmm, I thought a little bit. The clock would arrive soon enough…

Backyard beauty

Enter this way. Here’s why I like letting our cherished rescue mutt out the back door shortly after 7 a.m. at this time of year. The first glow of the day belongs to us.
