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.

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.

At first I thought it was a cute little replica of a lighthouse. You know, being so close to shore and all. But, no, this collects stuff someway, somehow, above my waterside knowledge level.

To think that I am not a boat person. Ships I got to like, if I wore the patch to ward off my chronic seasickness …

My dear wife Karen and I took a moment to savor our happy stroll at Onondaga Lake Park. It was midway, on a bench, close to the shore. May can be a happy month indeed.

Good time it is to find just the right amount of like-minded let’s-get-out people on a May stroll with my dear wife Karen at Onondaga Lake Park.

It’s a nice day in May when I notice the white blooms on the trees on a stroll with my dear wife Karen at Onondaga Lake Park.

Yes, I’ll even take a before-work walk down by the lake when it’s a tad soggy this spring. The few minutes of reflection pay off.

Onondaga Lake in the morning at this time of the year can present a peaceful picture.
