Y knot leave it standing?
I’m still standing … This little tree will draw my glances as the season progresses. I want to know if it’s gone gone, or if life clings to those limbs that remain at the Y.

My mind works in mysterious ways. Out there on the lake emerged a form. Logic told me a piece of wood has emerged part way from the water. My brain told me, wait, in another park to the south, that sure would be a gator. Why can’t it be some sort of big creature here?…
Leave us alone. How that great, big clump of dried leaves made it from autumn to spring on the shores of a lake is beyond me, I thought as I walked past the short tree And saw no other signs of such stubborn behavior. Nature sure is something.
Sun blocker. Walking around Onondaga Lake Park, it behooves this retired guy experiencing his first months away from the working days to stagger the hours visiting this grand expanse so close to my house. Different angles of the sun bring different views of the world to my senses (and iPhone).

Busy enjoying spring. It only took a warm and sunny spring day and a loop around Wegmans Landing playground to remind me that the young ones and the folks who care from them get so much out of this great space during our nice months. I used to get an eye and earful of the…
With determination and warmer days, I’ve hit my walking goal for April. Several clustered afternoon visits to Onondaga Lake Park led to the sunny day when I first took a left from the Salt Museum parking lot to stride past the easternmost tip and then loop back around Wegmans Landing children’s playground back to the…
The hollow at the bottom of the big tree drew me in. What came first, I wondered, the creature or the home? Was a critter still in there? Signs of activity. A closer inspection yielded sticks and dust but no animal brave enough or angry enough to come out to greet me … or yell…
Nature and man. The wildlife and city skyline both seem to stand out under the recent herringbone sky at Onondaga Lake Park. I admired both.
