The lawyering side of my multi-fractured personality has spent much too much time of late howling at the moon and tilting at windmills.  So, having dispatched my latest professional task via USPS late Saturday morning, I walked to my neighborhood Olmsted Park – South Buffalo’s Cazenovia Park – on a sunny and brisk March afternoon with my aging iPhone inconspicuously resting in my front pocket.  I tried for a few minutes, but I couldn’t resist the urge to engage in a photo shoot that has been on my mind the past couple of weeks, something I considered calling “Barking up the RIGHT tree in Caz Park.”

I realize that this collection of images may not be for everyone, but I’m taking the risk of sharing it nonetheless in hopes that some of you might enjoy it.  Here it is:
