Passing Through

Doane's Falls, Royalston, Massachusetts   

Hemlock sparkles amidst the whooshing vibrations of cascading Lawrence
  and the ferns, mosses and lichens listen, safe and sound on the rocks.

    Coming together to flourish in the glamour of passing through... 

Doane's Falls: ... hemlock sparkles...

Doane's Falls: ... amidst the whooshing vibrations of cascading Lawrence...

Doane's Falls: ... a glimpse...

Doane's Falls: ... through the breaks...

Doane's Falls: ... and tumbles...

Doane's Falls: ... while the path stays on his own...

Doane's Falls: ... and ferns make sure they are not on the way...

Doane's Falls: ... enjoying as much the views...

Doane's Falls: ... of the river...

Doane's Falls: ... swashing it in delight...

Doane's Falls: ... while others watch...

Doane's Falls: ... from above...

Doane's Falls: ... or closer...

Doane's Falls: ... to the jumping splashes...

Doane's Falls: ... and the rocky bubbles...

Doane's Falls: ... embraced...

Doane's Falls: ... by the woods...

Doane's Falls: ... in the glamour...

Doane's Falls: ... of passing through...

A Salute to Spring

Doane's Falls, Royalston, Massachusetts   

On this first day of spring, not much to show. No leaves, no flowers, no insects...

  Only a hunch of being hidden in the sounds of waterfalls. 

Doane's Falls: ... a salute to spring...

Dreamy and spirited

Great Brook Farm State Park, Massachusetts   

This is a place I like to wander about, where each face looks as if seen many times before.
Or so it seems.
A moss is a moss is a moss, one would think.

Not today.
The sunlight is diffused through white clouds. No shadows. Only soft shades.
The air, the earth, the rocks are soaked in water.

And how do mosses feel about this?
Well, just look at them... 

Great Brook Farm: ... a place I like to wander about...

Great Brook Farm: ... the sunlight is diffused through white clouds...

Great Brook Farm: ... no shadows, just soft shades and lots of water...

Great Brook Farm: ... the only greens are close to earth...

Great Brook Farm: ... withered beech leaves...

Great Brook Farm: ... in breezy chatter...

Great Brook Farm: ... back to earth...

Great Brook Farm: ... where bright shades of life enrich...

Great Brook Farm: ... and disperse the energy of raindrops...

Great Brook Farm: ... around the trunks...

Great Brook Farm: ... sharing this blissful moment with the rocks...

Great Brook Farm: ... in a dreamy wonderland...

Great Brook Farm: ... of players...

Great Brook Farm: ... soaked in water...

Great Brook Farm: ... getting along with each other...

Great Brook Farm: ... without intention...

Great Brook Farm: ... no shadows...

Great Brook Farm: ... and how do mosses feel about this ? Well, just look at them...

Water

 Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts    

A glimmer of winter is reflecting off of sculpted motions of burbling streams.
  Gurgles permeate the woods,
    frozen sprinkles and bounces suspend the time.

 Amidst the soon to be awakened... it is all about water, isn't it ?

Wachusett Meadow: ... a glimmer of winter...

Wachusett Meadow: ... reflecting off...

Wachusett Meadow: ... of sculpted motions...

Wachusett Meadow: ... of burbling streams...

Wachusett Meadow: ... gurgles...

Wachusett Meadow: ... permeate the woods...

Wachusett Meadow: ... with those frozen looks...

Wachusett Meadow: ... just flows...

Wachusett Meadow: ... where our eyes meet...

Wachusett Meadow: ... and icicles stop the time...

Wachusett Meadow: ... or it seems...

Wachusett Meadow: ... amidst the soon to be awakened...

Wachusett Meadow: ... it is all about water...

Wachusett Meadow: ... isn't it ?...
