Pink Flamingos dig the February thaw, too

On a stroll around the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, my cherished rescue mutt Ellie B and I encountered some grounded birds. AKA Dogamous Pyle didn’t quite know what to make of these Pink Flamingos. They made me smile. A February smile and fabulous plastic lawn ornaments put out…

Happy dogs at Onondaga Park stay on the leash

Midway through our return leg on our stroll with cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle at Onondaga Lake Park this past glorious Saturday, a woman ran past going the other direction on the inner trail path with her unencumbered dog trailing her. I turned my head and shouted at her. “Leash law!” Indeed.…

A snowmobile kind of week in Galeville

Ellie B did not give chase, and for that I gave thanks. My beloved rescue mutt and I came upon an interesting sight not one block from A Bitty Better during an after-work walk this week in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. A kid and a parent were riding a snowmobile on the snow-filled triangle…

Which way does your tree face?

Walking on the block perpendicular to A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville last week, Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I stumbled upon a tree most interesting. I stopped.

February finery at the library

The call of outdoor duty was strong Wednesday before my lunch break at the Liverpool Public Library. It looked fine from the second-floor windows. So I grabbed a lens and headed down the stairs. Could we not use some sun-drenched, sun-sparkled photos of the library for our files? You know, just in case. I think…

Gusty dusk in Galeville

I’ve talked here before about the big wind that visits around A Bitty Better in the Galeville neighborhood of Liverpool. When I got home from work at the library on Friday, it was acting up again. How best to show the gale of Galeville, I wondered. I saw and heard the flags outside the Salina…

A lovely look to the library’s street

When I left work Friday afternoon, there was still enough light left to jog down to Onondaga Lake Park to take some pictures with my iPhone 6s. OK, I walked briskly from the cold. No jogging for me. The lake photos I’ll save for another post. Tulip Street upon my return provided the perfect image…
