Signs of the times

Do I or don’t I? Can I continue to withstand this cold morning stroll, I wondered at this corner in the Village of Liverpool, looking ahead to the crispness of my beloved Onondaga Lake Park. Well I am certainly not a commercial vehicle …

Ready for cat climbing

Work off the energy. Elisabeth and George think they’ve come up with a good way for Vinny and Izzy to keep from banging off the walls as they run this way and that. The two kitties seem to love the new living room climbing tower a lot! Good job putting it together, George.

Home stretch

I know I can … Doesn’t it look cold? It sure felt cold as I walked my way back to my car after feeding my soul with a January morning stroll to Onondaga Lake Park.

Keep steady, trees

Better together. One last look before I head back to the Village of Liverpool makes me glad that I decided to brave the cold to get my fill of the Onondaga Lake Park’s tree-lined shore, even though I stayed back on the path.

Sign of the times

Open year round. My favorite park spells out when to do this and when to do that. This stroll is coming to the time to head back toward my car, parked in the Village of Liverpool.

To the entrance

That’s where it all starts. Soon workers will take down this year’s Lights on the Lake arches. This stroll still allows me to walk under their curved appeal.

Sun, slightly

Hanging in there. My beloved trees at Onondaga Lake Park show their deep winter mood as the sun hangs out half-hidden in a foreboding sky. Getting chillier and looking out over the terrain, I decide not to venture any closer to the lake and instead walk parallel to the trail …

I’ll hang back a bit

Path is clear. I saw nobody else as I got to the verge of my normal walking routes at Onondaga Lake Park during a recent morning stroll. It looks as cold as I feel, I thought.

Piling on

Around about. Not only has it been cold, it’s been snowy, I thought as I got to final decision time during my morning stroll in the Village of Liverpool. I could still feel my extremities.
