Back in White

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Only a few days ago I walked on the sand along barefoot enthusiasts...
... and today...
... steps break the silence of snowy surface...
... birds are looking for seeds...

Fresh Pond: ... back in white...

Fresh Pond: ...

Fresh Pond: ... breaking silence...

Fresh Pond: ...

Fresh Pond: ... looking for seeds...

Fresh Pond: ...

Fresh Pond: ...

Fresh Pond: ... just like sand... except for boots...

Fresh Pond: ... and winter coats...

Feels Like Spring

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts

... on this warm winter day...
How indispensable our one or two flocks of geese in spring and autumn! What would be a spring in which that sound was not heard? Coming to unlock the fetters of northern rivers. Those annual steamers of the air.

HENRY D. THOREAU, Journals, April 15, 1852

Parker River: ... hellos...

Parker River: ... from feathery breaths...

Parker River: ... incoming...

Parker River: ... in harmony with the warmth of this winter day...

Parker River: ... feels like spring...

Intermission

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts

On the 11th of January: Winter interrupted by record warmth in Northeast.
   ... the temp has climbed above +20°C (68°F) for just the second time in recorded history...
 
   ... oddly out of place... the time to visit the Ocean...

Parker River: ... record warmth... the sand can tell...

Parker River: ... grasses breeze through... still in the winter...

Parker River: ... the time to visit the ocean...

Parker River: ... where she meets the sand...

Parker River: ...

Parker River: ...

Parker River: ... and spreads across...

Parker River: ...

Parker River: ... flying with the wind...

Parker River: ... playfully...

Parker River: ...

Parker River: ... boundless...

Parker River: ... reminder...

Parker River: ...

Parker River: ...

Parker River: ... overflowing...

Parker River: ... toward...

Parker River: ... and away...

Parker River: ... into the sand...
