 She knows we are here, yet no fear in her eyes.

Living Rocks

Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts

Rocks, the first to come...
  Can I imagine how this must have looked some 10,000 years into the past,
   at the time when glaciers melted and rocks stayed ?

  Harsh, lifeless.

  And then lichens and mosses came,  
      the foremost,
    daringly animated creators of the new world.

  Harsh, buoyant.

    On these same rocks, no way I can miss them...  

Great Brook Farm: ... rocks, the first to come...

Great Brook Farm: ... how this must have looked 10,000 years into the past?...

Great Brook Farm: ... and then the lichens came...

Great Brook Farm: ... a distant relatives of fungi...

Great Brook Farm: ... the foremost...

Great Brook Farm: ... daringly animated creators of the new world...

Great Brook Farm: ... buoyantly easing harsh edges...

Great Brook Farm: ... no way I can miss them...

Great Brook Farm: ... among the trees...

Of the Ocean

Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

A glimpse of the marshland and cruising Ospreys, makes me sense the ocean.
  I know that this path will bring me to the point
    where I step on the sand and the ripples come in to splash my boots,

   saying in their gentle voices: Stop Here...  

Allens Pond: ... a glimpse of the marshland...

Allens Pond: ... and cruising Ospreys...

Allens Pond: ... makes me sense the ocean...

Allens Pond: ... I know that this path will bring me...

Allens Pond: ... to the point...

Allens Pond: ... of colorful pebbles...

Allens Pond: ... splashing ripples...

Allens Pond: ... and living rocks...

Allens Pond: ... where wings must stay in perfect order...

Allens Pond: ... to the slightest touch of breeze...

Allens Pond: ... and stops do not last...

Allens Pond: ... but for a short walk...

Allens Pond: ... a glance...

Allens Pond: ... and the ocean...

Rock Stars of Cornfields

Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts

The place where cornfields look like being a part of nature,
   encircled by trees and flowers,
    lively islands in the midst of the rolling woodlands.

 Walking along the rows of corn stalks at this time, in the apex of their lives,
     with waving leaves and alluring hairstyles,

     makes me smile... 

Great Brook Farm: ... cornfields...

Great Brook Farm: ... in the apex of their life...

Great Brook Farm: ... with waving leaves...

Great Brook Farm: ... and alluring hairstyles...

Great Brook Farm: ... makes me smile...

Great Brook Farm: ... in gentle embrace...

Great Brook Farm: ... with style...

Great Brook Farm: ... and tone...

Great Brook Farm: ... of rock stars...
