Hanging in and on
I noticed on an early morning stroll that way down yonder more leaves are starting to go to color.
Right idea, birds
The birds out on a line in Onondaga Lake seem to have the right idea to me.
The holiday lights are gathering
On this first day of fall, I offer the recent capture at the Onondaga Lake Marina. Boats are still docked. Leaves on the tree are still green and quite up there. Lights on the Lake decorations are piled and ready for installation.
The lake levels with me
On a smooth day, I can really stare and see the highs and lows of Onondaga Lake as the lone gull appears to be walking on the water.
From the flip side
The busy marina interests me looking toward shore, too. I’m glad the land bends toward other angles.
On the other hand …
Just to point out that not all the leaves are turning in Onondaga Lake Park, I offer this sprawling scene.
Turning leaves, chapter one
Seen on a stroll through Onondaga Lake Park: leaves changing color. Not mild yellow or mild red, I’d say, but quickly brown. It has been so very, very dry. It’s that point of August in my part of the world.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Strolling through Onondaga Lake Park on a lovely July day, it strikes me that Jim Seals passed away at the age of 80 in June. Thank you for giving us the song <em>Summer Breeze</em> during my teen years of the mid-70s, Seals and Croft. It resonates in my soul on sublime summer days still.
Quite a salty past
Here’s to keeping alive the memories of those who toiled to bring salt to the nation and give Syracuse its nickname of The Salt City.
Walk on out
One doesn’t need to go out on a boat to get the full feel of Onondaga Lake, what with this ready public dock walk.
