Living Meadow

 Mass Audubon Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
 
Being close to a meadow at this time of year,
  with the butterfly flutter attuned to the summer aromas...
 
  and I find myself in the midst of this busy world, just watching... 

Moose Hill: ... being close to a meadow...

Moose Hill: ... at this time of year...

Moose Hill: ... with the butterfly flutter...

Moose Hill: ... attuned to the summer aromas...

Moose Hill: ... and curves...

Moose Hill: ... where some appear suddenly...

Moose Hill: ... on the tops of grasses...

Moose Hill: ... and I am in the midst of this busy world...

Moose Hill: ... just watching...

Ah, Those Dragonflies

Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Dancing above the water...
  ... touching the leaves...
       ... absorbed by the colors...
    ... and then disappears... like a breeze...

Mount Auburn: ... above the water...

Mount Auburn: ... touching the leaves...

Mount Auburn: ... and the twigs...

Mount Auburn: ... absorbed by the colors...

Mount Auburn: ... now I see her...

Mount Auburn: ... and then lose her in the glints of lights...

Coping With the Heat

Lincoln Conservation Land, Concord Conservation Land, Massachusetts

On these boiling summer days, a visit to nature feels like an escape...
   ... shading forests... flowering meadows... buzzing dragonflies...
   ... animated lushness...
... where coping with the heat loses its meaning...

   ... blackberries... bring me back in time...

Lincoln: ... through shadows... on this hot day...

Lincoln: ... when a visit to nature feels like an escape...

Lincoln: ... close to leaves...

Lincoln: ... and flowers...

Lincoln: ... come join...

Lincoln: ...

Lincoln: ... with the breeze...

Lincoln: ... and dragonflies...

Lincoln: ...

Lincoln: ... and butterflies...

Lincoln: ... on the meadows...

Lincoln: ... in the forests...

Lincoln: ... where coping with the heat loses its meaning...

Lincoln: ... blackberries... bring me back in time...

Another Kind of Flyer

Moore's Swamp, Concord, Massachusetts

Dragonfly. The Name suggests a mythical fire-breathing monster flying around. With delicately painted four wings. And hardly matched ability to maneuver in the air. Moving in any direction. The sheer speed of these motions shatters continuity. The continuity that gifts bird flight melodic quality. Here, there is this stop-and-fly. With dragon-like facial expressions. Scares and thrills at the same time.
