Autumnal Meanderings

Wapack Trail, Wapack National Wildlife Refuge, New Hampshire

Autumn decorates Forest. It feels like a Celebration. Henry David Thoreau calls IT Sunset suggesting the END. I see IT as a glorious transition in the Cycle with No END.

Colors of Nature

Leominster State Forest, Massachusetts

Standing in a Whole Foods Market check-out line, I overhear a kid, not more than 4 years old, asking another kid of similar age: Which are primary colors ? And then proudly gives the answer: Red, Green, and Blue. Asking myself: Who is teaching kids this nonsense ? Why don’t you, whoever you are, take kids to a nearby park or forest and help them learn to SEE Colors of Nature. Their lives will be much richer for IT. And they will not miss out on primary colors.

Leominster S.F. : Colors on the Gound

Leominster S.F. : Colors in the Air

Leominster S.F. : Colors I do not name. Colors I See.
