It is fall we’re in, right?
Sometimes it’s so pretty at Onondaga Lake Park that it’s hard to remember if the leaves are coming or going. I’m happy enough to remember which direction I need to take to get to my destination.
A reminder not to forget them
A visit to Onondaga Lake Park’s east side yielded the reminder for an event set up to keep special young ones in our thoughts. It was sobering to see so many hanging placards with names and faces of children who are missing. May their loved one find some measure of peace in the thought that…
Please stick to the instructions, still
The season has changed. Temperatures have dipped. It’s good to see that park people still want us to keep our walks safe, both on the Willow Bay end and over on the east end of Onondaga Lake Park, too.
The lights are out around the lake
Yes, they are getting ready for the annual Lights on the Lake display at Onondaga Lake Park during our virus year of 2020. This chap is already standing post near Willow Bay.

Well maintained
A safe visit to Onondaga Lake Park revealed this low, wide Rose of Sharon. It strikes quite a different stance than the tall version in front of our house. Hmmmmmm.
Enjoying a match
A safe visit to Onondaga Lake Park found the bocce courts had attracted a match. They looked like they were having fun, not minding their masks at all.
That’s calm out on the lake
I enjoy them enjoying the lake as I enjoy the shore. Right?
May the best bass win
Walking with the kids around Onondaga Lake Park on Saturday, we spotted a lot of action around the marina. Busy social day out on the lake, I voiced to Elisabeth, George Three and Mason. George spotted activity down yonder. Yes, red digital numbers indeed caught my eye. I asked. We had come upon a bass…
