Fells Reservation, Massachusetts
... on the ground... up in the air... curling, coloring, vibrating... damming streams... at the bottom of ponds...
... rustling under my boots...

Living Ponds
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
... Canada goose relaxing on the edge of frozen and fluid... having both worlds only a jump away... ring-necked ducks on their daily routine... paddling, diving, cleaning feathers...
... a heron has just landed on the frozen Black's Nook... a bit slippery landing... the one she knows all about... continues inspecting the surface...
... on this cold winter day...

Mushrooming
Lusitania Woods, Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
... this tree has been dead for a few years... does not get to be seen until one steps closer... and a community of mushrooms shows up in full view... thriving on these cold winter days, while all others are sleeping...
... I can almost hear them: Hey, you Sleepers, what a marvelous time to be awake...
... and the tree comes alive...

Rigid and Cold
Mass Audubon Broadmoor, Natick, Massachusetts
... wintry rigid and cold envelops Broadmoor... frozen sketch sheets permeate the forest... the time of golden grasses and long shadows... with intermittent ice-cracking sounds...
... a woodpecker knock-knock-knocks... and this is all I can hear...

Quite a Special View
Lusitania Meadow, Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
... strolling Lusitania Meadow... edging cottonwood trees, weaving the heights... and then there is this branch... chosen by a red-tailed hawk... we have seen her before, sitting on this same branch...
... quite a special view... quite a special branch...

Between the Sun and Clouds
Mass Audubon North River, Marshfield, Massachusetts
... through the marshland, out into the ocean... golden touch-ups amid moving darkness...
... a place on the river between the sun and clouds...
