Great Brook Farm State Park, Carlisle, Massachusetts
Flowers, on their way.
Coloring, attracting all the eyes.
Some by chance,
others by intent.
Those golden gifts,
to share and uphold their lives...

The Time to Build Nests
Great Brook Farm State Park, Carlisle, Massachusetts
Nothing much is going on along the cornfield.
At least, it seems so.
Except the swallows.
Turning, twisting, in their graceful flyovers
just above our heads,
then landing on these muddy tracks.
Doesn't go together, does it?
Unless looking for the stuff for their nests.
And
they are doing just that...

Slowly
Wachusett Meadow, Princeton, Massachusetts
Into the real spring.
The woods feel the energy coming from the young leaves.
Surfacing inclines and declines,
spreading brightness.
Shadows of the crowns are not yet here
and
little flowers know that it is now or never.
So crisp and intact...

Like a Dance
Broadmoor, Natick, Massachusetts
When past and present blend into a single picture.
Without questions.
Reminds me on Alan Watts musings about life.
It is a dance...
You go round and round...
Like a music, also,
it is fulfilled in each moment of its course...
You do not play a sonata in order to reach the final chord...

Yet HERE ?
Walden Pond SR, Concord, Massachusetts
Still on the beaver's pond.
Look over there.
Cannot believe. Chickadees on dead trees.
Picking tangibles they value from the trunk hollows.
Never could I expect to see them here.
For me,
they are birds of lively crowns.
Flitting playfully amongst sparkling needles.
Yet HERE ?
Can I see what they see? Not really.
But it makes me think...

Mister Keystone
Walden Pond SR, Concord, Massachusetts
Coming to the beavers' homestead.
With the known symbols of their presence.
Messy world.
Turtles and ducks. Plants and birds.
They are all here
because the beavers have created a living space for them.
And for doing that,
they have earned a title Keystone Species.
THERE, swimming...
