... the ocean is flowing... like a river...
... I squat on the sand and watch the water coming in undulating breaths of the Sun and the Moon...
... sandpipers celebrate...

Coping With the Heat
Lincoln Conservation Land, Concord Conservation Land, Massachusetts
On these boiling summer days, a visit to nature feels like an escape...
... shading forests... flowering meadows... buzzing dragonflies...
... animated lushness...
... where coping with the heat loses its meaning...
... blackberries... bring me back in time...

With the Wind
Danehy Park, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Danehy is a sports park with the swampy portion given to grasses.
It is windy today...
... humans are playing and grasses are dancing...
... without notice...
... a dog finds IT strange, barks at us and passes by...

After Rain
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
It rained last night... the football field is sprinkled with mushrooms...
... I enjoy these hats poking through grasses... flowers of the fungal underworld...
... or, as Stephan Harding calls IT, the forgotten kingdom...
Fungi are all around us, they are everywhere. In some habitats, says Harding, such as forest soils, fungal biomass often reaches 90% of the combined biomass of microorganisms such as bacteria and other small animals. They are responsible for recycling, they deliver food to the weak, and maintain health of the forest.
Fungi have been HERE much longer than plants and animals. And, in partnership with bacteria, they have created conditions for this lavish and ornate world we call nature... thus,
... as I stand amongst them, I wonder if they can sense my footsteps... and my thoughts...

... we must pay them due honour, for without their secret labours there would be no forests, no grasslands, no heathlands, no savannahs, nor any of the great animals that roam in those wild realms. Without fungi, the earth's land surfaces would be nothing more than exposed rocks...
