All Lush and Alive

Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

 From the bridge where the marsh meets the pond,
  I look around...
 
  Exotic Lythrum grabs the eyes though being regarded as an outsider and a major threat to wetlands.
 
  Water Lilies are smiling...
 
  Heron on descent over there.
    Muskrat swims with a purpose while turtles bask in pure calm.

  Swallows have borrowed a house from Wood Ducks to raise their family,
    a little one has just taken the first flight... must be the MOMENT, one step closer to the freedom...
 
  And they all enjoy to be here...  

Stony Brook: ... all lush and alive...

Stony Brook: ... grabs the eyes...

Stony Brook: ... from the bridge, I look around...

Stony Brook: ... just now...

Stony Brook: ... smiling...

Stony Brook: ... with these precious speckles...

Stony Brook: ... muskrat swims with the purpose...

Stony Brook: ... chelydra paddles with strength...

Stony Brook: ... basking...

Stony Brook: ... looks like a prime spot...

Stony Brook: ... there is action over there...

Stony Brook: ... swallows are raising a family in this house...

Stony Brook: ... and a little one has just taken the first flight...

Stony Brook: ... one step closer to the freedom...
