Rutland Brook, Brooks Woodland, Petersham, Massachusetts
Bright greens, perfect young leaves mingle in the flourish of woods.
Insects are buzzing around, butterflies, dragonflies, and, yes,
mosquitoes... We've gotten few bites and a feel-better thought comes to mind:
these ladies need our blood to feed their young.
The way of nature, life needs life to live...
except for plants,
they make food from the Sun and Earth, not a drop of blood spilled...
and, perhaps, this is why I love them so much, they make me forget...
