Protected Land Shines

Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge & Greenough Land, Carlisle, Massachusetts

Strolling the protected grounds of Carlisle...

  Put to use by Musketaquid Indians and later-on by European settlers,
  with the long history of service to humans, the land had lost the right to mold self well-being.
  And then one day,
  the Carlisle townsmen decided to protect these pieces and return the land to Nature...

... it is sunny today...
... the sun-rays beam down the multi-layered network of forms and colors...
... passing, breaking, reflecting unfettered, glowing lushness...

Carlisle: ... strolling the protected grounds...

Carlisle: ... where trees live-on after dying...

Carlisle: ... shades of green flood the space...

Carlisle: ... and Concord River moves along...

Carlisle: ... quietly...

Carlisle: ... noted by ferns...

Carlisle: ... and clouds...

Carlisle: ... where nature plunges into herself...

Carlisle: ... and heron knows that it is just a play...

Carlisle: ... beaver likes it on the edge of physical and pictorial...

Carlisle: ... proudly vertical...

Carlisle: ... reaching for the heights...

Carlisle: ... to be the first to meet the sun...

Carlisle: ... closer to the ground...

Carlisle: ... densely packed...

Carlisle: ... charming the eyes...

Carlisle: ... those reds...

Carlisle: ... with untouched passage...
