Still the Time...

Crane Beach, Massachusetts
  
 ... the day is coming to a close, already...
      amidst fainting grasses
          this pair of lively birds, hopping over swirling branches of a dead tree... 

Especial Moments

Crane Beach, Massachusetts
  
   ... with the autumn sunlight... 

Unsinkable

 Brooks Woodland Preserve, Massachusetts
   
Walking along the swollen brook...
  After many rainy days, the bordering woodland is floating.
   Animals have retreated, some may have arrived...

       ... and the plants have stayed, creating this place of stoical beauty...

Rutland Brook

Rutland Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
  
The sanctuary is named after the brook that passes through,
     as if being the center of attraction...
  Hopping over boulders left by glaciers millennia earlier,
     brings water to this wildlife commune
         and yes...
     everyone listens and revels in the sounds and bubbles, and shares this energy along...  

In the Shine

Brooks Woodland Preserve, Massachusetts
  
Autumn in the beech woodland...
  the leaves are up in the air, glowing
   and then come closer while I walk along,
        holding tightly to my eyes as if trying to keep me here forever...
