Noanet Woodlands, Dover, Massachusetts
Here they are.
The trail is non-passable.
Lots of water, lots of trees, the resolve, the know-how.
And the new world appears.
Looks messy.
But there must be an order beneath these branches.
To the beaver's liking...
Ravenswood Park, Gloucester, Massachusetts
Mingled with the rocks, sculpting the pathways.
With a bounty of variants
where each and every carves its own way.
And it is so special to be one of them,
if only for a moment...
Great Brook Farm State Park, Carlisle, Massachusetts
Hummingbirds.
In so many ways they are a never-ending delight.
The smallest birds,
with the highest metabolism of all animals,
enabling them to hover while feeding on the nectar of flowers.
And then I see them,
and hear their humming among Cardinal Flowers,
in the real world...
Ward Reservation, Andover, Massachusetts
Walking woods on a hot day without looking for anything.
And then it happens.
Ospreys flying around their nest,
and the two of us,
watching...
Nature always has her ways
with the unexpected
that may never come about again.
