Pleasing symmetry

You belong there. My eye said I just had to line up this burning bush in the Village of Liverpool with the red brick apartment house behind it.

Shiny reflections

Pondering life. The high weeds at shore. The sun off the lake. The gray-white-cotton clouds. Yes, this library lunch break stroll scene makes it worth wolfing down my sandwich upon return to my desk.

Shore enough

Lightly lapping. This angle into the Onondaga Lake shoreline pleased me during my library lunch break stroll. The sea, she was not angry on this fall day, friends, but soon enough in winter she could be.
