These Lustrous Threads

Coolidge Reservation, Massachusetts

A hill, a pond, the Ocean
 and swashing sounds of waves

  make this small piece of nature a place for the spirit to linger... 

Painted

Coolidge Reservation, Massachusetts

Watching butterflies makes me wonder how and why they look the way they look ?
  Is it existential or purely to enchant ? To enchant Whom ?

  And how this helps them to survive ?

  I do not know,
     but feel that BEAUTY is systemic to nature and the genes just learn to express IT...
