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...

Fells: ... Chickadees...

Fells: ... earnestly caching seeds...

Fells: ... in the bark of trees...

Fells: ... with brief stops...

Fells: ... just to check...

Fells: ... it seems all is known...

Fells: ... even my gaze...

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...

Morning Sparkles

In the morning, the ocean comes to wash their faces...
   ... sparkling across this elusive world... 

Castle Neck: ... morning sparkles...

Castle Neck: ... wash their faces...

Castle Neck: ... and awaken...

Castle Neck: ... each blade of grass...

Castle Neck: ... gliding...

Castle Neck: ... across this silvery world...

Autumn on Sand Dunes

 Castle Neck, Crane Beach, Massachusetts

Hudsonia spreads over rolling dunes, clothing sandy rises and falls in warm browns...
   ... grasses sparkle in colorful amalgam of autumnal retreat,
         followed by long shadows...

Castle Neck: ... autumn on sand dunes...

Castle Neck: ... basking...

Castle Neck: ... through and...

Castle Neck: ... through browny rises and falls...

Castle Neck: ... along grassy touches...

Castle Neck: ... finds herself in Hudsonia world...

Castle Neck: ... with yellow birches...

Castle Neck: ... shining motions...

Castle Neck: ... of grassy choruses...

Castle Neck: ... and drying Goldenrods...

Castle Neck: ... tufts of seeds...

Castle Neck: ... in colorful amalgam with long shadows...
