Coming Closest

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Today is a Special Day. When the Moon is closest. And his face fully illuminated... With clear skies, appears even closer... a long way from Home...

... a long way from Home...

Cambridge: ... yet so close...

In Defrosting Mode

Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

Deep freeze had lasted... and passed. It is warm, above 10°C (50°F). And the Sun makes it feel like Spring. Fells is in Defrosting Mode. Streams dissolving their ice-coats. Burbling vivaciously...  Translucent sculptures holding onto the rocks... Mosses are waking-up. Quickly absorbing water from the snow. Opening their teeny leaves to the Sun. Infusing the forest with bright tints of life... Lichens and Fungi refreshed. Tree Buds tightly closed... No, Trees will not be duped into the idea that this Winter is over.

Fells: ... in defrosting mode...




Fells: ... holding onto the rocks...

Fells: ... water and the Sun... lift Spirits...

Fells: ... and infuse the forest with tints of Life...

Fells: ... ways...

Fells: ... artfully softened...

Fells: ... and sprinkled...

Fells: ... sparkles dripping...

Fells: ... refreshing...

Fells: ... dissolving...

Fells: ... tightly closed... this Winter is not over...

Observing...

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Red-Tailed Hawk sitting up-there. Watching the World from above... Observing... The Eyes to catch. The Beak to kill... Fearful Face. Yet so Magnetic...

Walking back...

Black's Nook, Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Walking to Black's Nook. Lively day over there. Three kinds of ducks on the Pond. Keeping themselves well apart. Floating about peacefully... It is Late  Autumn. The food is scarce. Each of them would love to own the whole Pond. Yet, no intention from any to drive away others. Energy is so precious. Only a fool starts a war. Acceptance permeates... A month has passed. It is Early Winter. The Pond is Here. White and Alone... Where are they? Flying somewhere... Walking back...

Black's Nook: Rusty Colors... Late Autumn

Black's Nook: On the Path to Black's Nook

Black's Nook: Lively...

Black's Nook: Keeping separate

Black's Nook: About...

Black's Nook: Favoring distance

Black's Nook: A month has passed

Black's Nook: White and Alone

Black's Nook: Walking back...

Black's Nook: ...into the Winter

Sweeping Energy

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Her Name is Bomb Cyclone. Given by Meteorologists. I do not like the Name... For me, she is Sweeping Energy. Swirling Winds. Flying Snowflakes... I enjoy watching... and hear my Planet: Yes, this is Me...




Cambridge: Swirling Winds

Cambridge: Living Traces




Cambridge: Rolling away

Frozen Pond

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Deeply Frigid Cold. The Pond is frozen. Except for this patch... Rippling... Seagulls flapping... Striking Surface. With twists and turns. Snowy Flecks sprinkled over... Passing by the golf house. Sparrows line the window. Bathing in the Sun. Puffed-up in their parkas... I empathize... Down along the Pond... Underflows streaming beneath. Winding through whiteness...

Fresh Pond: Frozen

Fresh Pond: Except for this patch... Rippling...

Fresh Pond: Sprinkled over

Fresh Pond: Bathing in the Sun

Fresh Pond: Puffed-up in their parkas. I empathize...

Fresh Pond: Winding through whiteness
