Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
I sense the flutter of butterflies around scattered bouquets of flowers
and see a Bobolink... must have arrived from far-lands not that much earlier...
The meadow exhales green... inspires me to take a deep breath...
Sandy Neck, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Sauntering over dunes in the company of birds, amidst young leaves and flowers...
warming sunrays reach each grain of sand with their dusting sparkles,
glowing through leaves, and
reflecting off birds' eyes into mine...
Crane Beach, Massachusetts
... sand is on the fly, the beach is in motion...
I stand on solid ground but my body floats... feels like being on the over-the-clouds stroll...
Crane Beach, Massachusetts
Windy and cool but it is May when the beach lives as a return point for Sandpipers and Piping Plovers,
coming from afar to their summer homes...
Sandpipers in ensembles, enjoying melodic flights in synchrony with the wind and ocean...
and Piping Plovers in singulars, moving with the purpose...
