In the Shadow

In The Yard – ITY49
 

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. –Abraham Lincoln

  

When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost, right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder. –Lao Tzu

Almost Twins

Squared – SQ126

A few years ago, when I started working in Syracuse and was traveling the thruway everyday, I noticed that the state was planting wildflowers. There are whole areas dedicated to them. There is a Text Stop a few miles from Verona on the Westbound side that has two areas planted with the flowers. The area between the off-ramp and thruway at exit 48A has another area. As I passed these areas everyday I told myself I needed to stop and grab some images when the flowers were in bloom. Yesterday, in the 90+ degree heat I finally stopped. They were beautiful… it didn’t hurt they were also a favorite of mine. 🙂

Delta Lake State Park

Last night was the end of the work week. It was hot, humid and hazy. I thought there would be some great color in the sky at sunset. I drove over to my favorite (and closest state park) for the view. Although there were more people hanging around than I would have liked (don’t they know it is my park around sunset?), I did capture a few great images. It looks like the park upgraded the lifeguard towers. Nice to see they provide the guards some protection from the sun.
