Fall is coming

Autumn knocking at the lake. I strolled at Onondaga Lake Park, searching for those first turning trees here in Central New York. There you are. Found them. The calendar will catch up soon.

Whatever floats yours

Looking good. I really like taking photos of the boats that gather at Onondaga Lake Marina. Going out on boats, though, is really a task for me. I have to secure the seasickness patch and stick it behind my ear a day beforehand. Or else. This I learned growing up as a seasick lad out…

Stumped

Thank you for a life well-lived. I know this wide stump must have been one heck of a tree on the shore of our Onondaga Lake. I wish I remember more about it before it met this fate.

Hello over there

Every lake has another side. I can’t help but gaze at the opposite shore every time I stroll my side of Onondaga Lake. It’s my nature to also think about Over There.

Humans vs. nature

Take it with you, please. I can understand the leaves and such left on the August ground by nature. The empty bottles rudely discarded by humans, not so much.

Dock spot

Hanging out. So many framing opportunities for the eye on my August stroll at Onondaga Lake Park. The draping limb allows just enough space for the dock down there and those appreciating it to peek through.

Fixed for speed …

Go get ‘em! The biking/skating/serious running pat at Onondaga Lake Park has been repaved, I see during an August stroll. I imagine a lot of happier users, though I still walk on the path to the left set up for slower-goers.

Catchy name

Good one. I like to picture the boat owners gathered around with tightened brows as they figure out the perfect name for their vessel. And then I screw up my best face imagining tales about the boat … Coral Fixation, set up for a spin through the islands, right?!
