Revealed

Noanet Woodlands, Dover, Massachusetts   

This path shows-up on our GPS trail map but is often under water.
 Impassable,
   except during droughty weather.

 Looks like today might be the day to check it out and explore... 

Colorful

Estabrook Woods, Concord, Massachusetts   

Autumn colors, so close in the sunny woods.
 Mirroring around the ponds.  
 Passing through the rainbows of canopies;

   and onto the lower grounds.
 Here is where it all ends and starts, in this phantasy of the real world... 

Choate island

Choate Island, Crane Estate, Massachusetts   

The island is a glacier formed drumlin at the mouth of Essex River.
Long loved by humans.
 Agawam Indians, Choate Family, Crane Family.
  Lots of stories, buried in the clam shells, rocks and earth, in the grasses and spruces.
   Houses.

 None lives here today.

 Only the island, in its animate solitude, with the white clouds... 

A Glimpse of the Eternal

Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts   

... echoing through, together... 

Final Decision

Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts    

The summer season is officially finished.

  And we are here...
 
Sunny crowds are dispersed over the sand,
 sounds of motor driven boats, coloring the sandbars;
   and the sails.

  They are all here...

 Sharing the beach with seagulls and sandpipers.
    
  Aliens with natives...
