Of Looks and Peeks

Estabrook Woods, Concord, Massachusetts   

The name comes from Thoreau who, in June of 1853 in his journal,
   reflected on the area, and proposed the name Estabrook Country for IT.

Rarely talked about in public,
 this piece of land is owned by the stewards of the woods to protect IT as a nature preserve.

And here I am,
  with the thoughts on a thoroughly revealing message from the Estabrook Council:

   Visiting most of Estabrook Woods is a privilege and not a right

Estabrook Woods: ... the energy of living embraces...

Estabrook Woods: ... coloring...

Estabrook Woods: ... buzzing...

Estabrook Woods: ... along the path...

Estabrook Woods: ... of the young...

Estabrook Woods: ... the light and shade...

Estabrook Woods: ... the water...

Estabrook Woods: ... with just a brief stop...

Estabrook Woods: ... at the traces of late dinner...

Estabrook Woods: ... along the path...

Estabrook Woods: ... of newly born pine twigs...

Estabrook Woods: ... colorful mosses, just about to let their spores fly away...

Estabrook Woods: ... glowing, these lovely ferns...

Estabrook Woods: ... I know that I am being watched...

Estabrook Woods: ... the life is all around me...

Estabrook Woods: ... in motions...

Estabrook Woods: ... reflecting...

Estabrook Woods: ... inspiring...

Estabrook Woods: ... everlasting...

Estabrook Woods: ... untouchable...
