Echo Pond, Rocky Woods, Medfield, Massachusetts
The pond is in bloom.
One of those shallow waters that attract water lilies... close to the soil, close to the sun...
Circling over the surface... and all those roseate petals make me stay still...
I take a step... a frog hops into the water...
Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts
Lots of rain lately... bright greens all over the woods.
Countless mushrooms in different shapes and colors. The flowers of the masters of mycelium networks
by which trees connect and form the living organism we name FOREST.
The signatures of well being...
... and it is good to know that all is well here...
Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
... fairly toasty today...
We thought being close to the ocean brings a respite, but no, not this time...
not a bird in sandy pools of low tide... only Fiddlers,
small crabs that sense our steps as a danger and quickly retire into their holes as we approach...
and the woods... embracing every breath of breeze in sways, twists, and whirls...
I hear birds chirping in the crowns...
Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
On our last visit to the milkweed meadows we missed Monarchs...
Where are they? Already gone? Or not yet arrived?
This is the time when they stop here,
leave their eggs on milkweed leaves and pass away without notice,
while in 30 days their young grow-up and resume the last part of their grandiose journey up-north...
Coming back in two weeks and... HERE YOU ARE!!! infusing the space with orange flutter...
Welcome back !!!
