Winter walkways … I suddenly had the feeling that some workers pulled these walkways to a safer winter location as I investigated during my winter stroll. Unless that one spot is really important come warmer times. I wasn’t stepping out to look more.

Take a spin. This frozen spot where in warmer months boat owners back their vessels into the Onondaga Lake Marina ushers other thoughts into my winter brain. When frozen, it looks like one heck of a spot for some skating spins.

Picturing other seasons … Winter is pretty, yes. But I surely do enjoy wearing shorts, a T-shirt and comfortable footwear as I take note of the interesting boat names in the Onondaga Lake Marina during the warm months.

Churning water runs deep. I’d expect that the Onondaga Lake Marina boat slips would have to be dug deep enough to allow clearance for the bigger boats that take up the shore slips come the warm months. And this would affect the freezing when deep winter finally arrives. Not that I’m an expert on any…

Can be calm. A February walk to the Onondaga Lake Marina can find it quite quiet. The bird’s eye view shows still waters for sure. Floating orders. And here’s why the Marina lies empty in the winter.

Until next spring … My most recent lunch break walk from the library spotted that the boats have gone home from the Onondaga Lake Marina. Truly it was a colorful season for the lake vessels. Thank you for allowing me to admire your bobs and waves.
