A little less traffic

Cooler days. I’m not the only person enjoying the blue sky over Onondaga Lake Park, I note before heading back to my car parked blocks away in the Village of Liverpool. Smattering. Enjoy, kindred souls, I think, looking both ways down the trail, glad I have the park in my life.

Drift away

Give me the beat, boys. How close are these fallen branches to becoming driftwood, I wonder during my November Onondaga Lake Park stroll. Sure, the Dobie Gray classic goes through my brain.
