With Rocks

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... 

Humming

 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...

A Day in the Woods

Ward Reservation, Andover, Massachusetts
 
Cheerful breeze,
  wandering through the crowns.
   Enters the world
 where passes meet the eyes of quietude...

Osprey Times

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. 

Secretively

Brewster's Woods, Concord, Massachusetts
 
Wood Ducks are hard to see.
  They come here for the summer,
    find their homes in overgrown swampy ponds,
  where lilies like to settle and bloom at the same time.

I wonder how it may feel to be in their place?

 Obscured by the bushes.
 Relaxing on the fallen tree trunk.
 Floating in silence, through reflections.

All is so close to the eyes and touch.

   Must be a paradise...
