Burbling

Blue Hills Reservation, Massachusetts

... water... the lifeline of spring renewal... burbling through the forest...

Blue Hills: ... water...

Blue Hills: ... the lifeline of spring renewal...




Blue Hills: ... stops in a flash... and I stop...

Part of a Bigger Whole

Blue Hills Reservation, Massachusetts

... COVID-19 pandemic...
  ... I am in Whole Foods Market...
       Nitrile Gloves on my hands,  Neck Gaiter over my nose,
         making sure to keep distance from other people...

  Is Nature trying to remind me that I am just a part of a bigger whole ?...

Blue Hills: ... thinly frozen...

Blue Hills: ... streaming...

Blue Hills: ... over the sky...

Blue Hills: ... over the crowns...

Blue Hills: ... into the forest...

Blue Hills: ... streaming...

Blue Hills: ... mutually...

Blue Hills: ... immersed...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... in theatrical displays...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... cascading...

Blue Hills: ... together...

Blue Hills: ... where light reflects...

Blue Hills: ... is it just a mirror?...

Blue Hills: ... or a fantasy?...

Blue Hills: ... or curly mosses?...

Blue Hills: ... coming...

Blue Hills: ... going... with a little help from the rocks...

Blue Hills: ... to the roots...

Blue Hills: ... of this world...

Blue Hills Pathways

Blue Hills Reservation, Massachusetts

Somewhere between winter and spring...
   ... the time when trees are still asleep...
   ... and millions of leafless branches reflect the sunlight into shining symphony...

Blue Hills: ... peeking...

Blue Hills: ... just a boulder...

Blue Hills: ... just a mishap...

Blue Hills: ... rocky ascent...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... to the high point...

Blue Hills: ... in winter clothing... gently patting...

Blue Hills: ... winding...

Blue Hills: ... honored by their greens...

Blue Hills: ... and by shining symphony of leafless branches...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... where in the midst of browns...

Blue Hills: ... young forest is being born...

Blue Hills: ... peeking...

Around the Lake

Silver Lake, Breakheart Reservation, Massachusetts

Embraced by the land, Silver Lake does not impose herself the way Ocean does.
Charms in silence, luring the life ever closer...
   ... gentle breeze sprinkles diamonds over rippling surface... and disappears...

Silver Lake: ... embraced by the land...

Silver Lake: ... charms in silence...

Silver Lake: ... luring the life ever closer...

Silver Lake: ...

Silver Lake: ...

Silver Lake: ...

Silver Lake: ...

Silver Lake: ... gentle breeze...

Silver Lake: ... sprinkles diamonds...

Silver Lake: ... and disappears...

Living with Ocean

Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Between the ocean and the land... where winds make the rules.
Today is cold and blowy.
Not many birds... they come when it suits them and then leave.
Sands and plants are here, they stay...
   ... absorbing the ocean and creating a place that resonates with each of my cells...

   Is this how it feels to be a part of IT ?

Monomoy: ... pitch pines...

Monomoy: ... between the ocean and the land...

Monomoy: ... where winds make the rules...

Monomoy: ...
Monomoy: ...

Monomoy: ... and grasses follow...

Monomoy: ... come when it suits them and then leave...

Monomoy: ... she stays...

Monomoy: ... attached...

Monomoy: ... with sand...

Monomoy: ... absorbing the ocean...

Monomoy: ... creating the place...

Monomoy: ... that resonates with each of my cells...

Monomoy: ...

Monomoy: ... she stays...

Monomoy: ... between the ocean and the land...
