Quinault, Olympic Peninsula, Washington
Hundreds, thousands... at the same point...
Sounds boring.
But is it ?
The same never stops changing and the tree holds on to this enduring dynamics.
Scarred, twisted, gnarled beauty of staying there for a very long time.

These Lustrous Threads
Coolidge Reservation, Massachusetts
A hill, a pond, the Ocean
and swashing sounds of waves
make this small piece of nature a place for the spirit to linger...

Painted
Coolidge Reservation, Massachusetts
Watching butterflies makes me wonder how and why they look the way they look ?
Is it existential or purely to enchant ? To enchant Whom ?
And how this helps them to survive ?
I do not know,
but feel that BEAUTY is systemic to nature and the genes just learn to express IT...

Thump, thump, thump...
Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
A large Hickory with the crown where some can easily get lost, among leaves, green balls,
and these thumps, hard but soft, hitting the ground.
Somewhere up there a brown squirrel is in the seasonal harvest...
