I dare think the visitors that day had their run of the place. As spring hits, soon the place will be overrun with people.

Go back to the dead of winter on this first day of spring, why don’t we?

In mid-winter, the trails at Onondaga Lake Park surely looked barren. To think that they’d been parading cars this way nightly from Thanksgiving past New Year’s for Lights on the Lake.

Even with the wind blowing and the temperatures well below freezing, I got the urge to run down two blocks from the library during my morning break a few weeks ago. Onondaga Lake was still there! More scenes from what I considered our winter mid-point in the next few days.
