Trudging out in the Dinosaur Garden Lawn

At the library, my boss Glenna’s office has a great view of the Dinosaur Garden Lawn. When we had a big snow last week, she came up to my desk and said it looked kind of cool to her. Out I trudged. The shots I got with the Liverpool Public Library good camera went up…

Reflecting on the arrival of spring

They spring is coming. Yes, even to Central New York. Yet this is what I saw just a few days ago after picking up my pre-work coffee at Nichols in the Village of Liverpool. The still-snowy scene struck me to stand in the middle of First Street to snap the shot on my iPhone 8.…

Winter, hovering

Oh, February at Onondaga Lake Park. It can be perfectly peaceful, pre-melt.

Racing to find that sound

A recent weekend visit to Nichols to buy some staples also led to a stray toward Onondaga Lake when the return trip to my car included some sounds coming up from Onondaga Lake. People were doing something down at the park, I thought. The sound that was carrying up the two blocks was people cheering…

It’s punning cats and dogs again

My work break walks in the block around the library paid off again. These pet store folks won’t give up on their great punmanship. It’s punning cats and dogs.

Tempting, yes

No, I’m not. But do I think that this sign next to the library is effective as I walk through the cold for a cup of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee? Yes, I do.

Another sign of winter

Some slip-slidin’ apparently took the exit sign of the Village of Liverpool’s Dunkin’ Donuts as a casualty. Well, I lean toward that opinion, anyway.

Retreat? Maybe later

The walk from my work at the library to Dunkin’ Donuts takes me past The Retreat. Sometimes the cold makes me want to beat feet to my desk, but onward I go for that cup o’ Joe.

There’s a front street for work walks, too

I don’t always walk the back way toward the lake when I take a morning or afternoon break from my job at the library. No, sometimes I journey on the front side, toward Dunkin‘ Donuts. It’s a cold and snowy place, too.

Now that’s a village winter

I was taking photos for work in the library’s Carman Community Room when the look of the surrounding Village of Liverpool this wintry January 2018 drew my iPhone 6s from my pocket. I shot right through the window. The icicles from our rafters are lengthening. So too are the days.
