Birdly Living

Mass Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

First sunny day after the snow storm.
Most of the unworn nature is in white blanket, the temps hover around -8°C.
   Harsh times for birds. But they keep spirits. For them, it is a matter of survival...
      ... their life force passes through my soul, I feel privileged...

Ipswich River: ... harsh times...

Ipswich River: ... but they keep spirits...

Ipswich River: ... with seeds...

Ipswich River: ... and no fear...




Ipswich River: ... what?...

Ipswich River: ... plainly simple...

Ipswich River: ... eyeful...

Ipswich River: ... sooooo Big...

Ipswich River: ... is this crowding?...

Ipswich River: ... hardly...

Ipswich River: ... up the tower...

Ipswich River: ... and she knows...

Ipswich River: ... fine to wait for a moment...

Ipswich River: ... while under the snow...

After the Storm

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts

Arriving on the Island right after the last night's storm... clouds and sounds are still here...
   I hear the roaring ocean and feel the tremors in my throat...
    ... surging, crashing, spuming, with the resonance of imperial authority... in silence... 

Plum Island: ... after the storm...




Plum Island: ... clouds and sounds are still here...

Plum Island: ... roaring ocean...

Plum Island: ... crashing...

Plum Island: ... spuming...

Plum Island: ... with the resonance of imperial authority...

Plum Island: ... diffusing...

Plum Island: ... in silence...

Everlasting

Rock Circuit Trail, Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

Rocks were the first to come and still set the pathways...
   Stops and turns, jumps and climbs, viewpoints... the motion of living, perfectly adjusted to the rules...
    ... with these eyes watching...

Fells: ... rocks were the first to come...

Fells: ... setting the pathways...

Fells: ... of soily points...

Fells: ... overlap plays...

Fells: ... in continuum...

Fells: ... with turns...

Fells: ... ascents...

Fells: ... and back down...

Fells: ... with these eyes watching...

Fells: ... the motion of living...

Fells: ... perfectly adjusted to the rules...

Fells: ... sparkling...

Fells: ... and enjoying the viewpoint...

Readying for the Winter

Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

The winter is not that far-off.
  Chickadees are earnestly caching seeds in the bark of trees, in the cracks of wood.
   Flying about, with brief stops, just to check... it seems all is known, even my gaze...  

Fells: ... the winter is not that far-off...

Fading shadows

 Crane Beach, Massachusetts

... clouds seem to be rising from the ocean in layers of water droplets,
      in each breath of fading shadows...
 
      ... the sounds of waves are telling me that I am still here...

Crane Beach: ... gently...

Crane Beach: ... rising from the ocean...

Crane Beach: ... and she is watching...

Crane Beach: ... farewell sparkles...

Crane Beach: ... and shadows...

Crane Beach: ... fading away...

Crane Beach: ... the sounds of waves...

Crane Beach: ... telling me that I am still here...
