After Rain

Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts

Sparkling in diamonds. The songs from Heavens... 

Then It Rains

Cambridge, Massachusetts

... crystals wash my eyes... and stay...

Southern Accents

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Sourwood or Sorrel Tree... or Oxydendrum arboreum...
This tree is native to eastern North America but I have never seen her in wild... and why?..
  'cause Sourwoods are at home in southern forests of the lower chain of the Appalachian Mountains.

I have learned about southern versus northern...
   ... longer days... more of sunlit and warm hours...
      ... more of radiant energy and southern extravaganza...

      ... which brings me back to this little tree...

Delicate Landing

Lincoln Conservation Land, Massachusetts

This morning...
... millions shining, absorbing and reflecting the world I haven't seen...

Between the Sun and Clouds

Mass Audubon North River, Marshfield, Massachusetts

... through the marshland, out into the ocean... golden touch-ups amid moving darkness...
   ... a place on the river between the sun and clouds...

Is it Spring?

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Soaking wet... cold... 4°C (39°F) ... And she is flowering...

After the Rain

Haleakala National Park, Maui

Clouds are always in the vicinity. Carrying the ocean around. Rushing up the slopes of Haleakala. Cooling off in the process. And splashing moisture all over. Plants are jubilantly catching raindrops... The Sun is coming back. Millions of Diamonds. Shimmering choruses. Winking. I wink back. IS THIS A DREAM?
