Broad Meadow Brook, Worcester, Massachusetts
This place
is named after a brook that passes through unnoticed.
WHY?
Ferns, ferns...
in all their beauty,
mingle with trees in the freshest creations.
Then this meadow, overgrown in joyful sways.
Just watch and feel!!!
Grass, grass...
and the brook. I don't see him but I know he is HERE...

In Green
Broad Meadow Brook, Worcester, Massachusetts
Dragonflies animate in sparkling flutter.
Looks like the work of a beaver.
The trunks of dead trees are the posts for herons to land on and observe.
Not much water.
Enough for the swan to paddle, plucking out duckweeds.
Other than that,
grasses, leaves and flowers. The colorful hideouts.
Red-winged blackbirds sing their songs...

Back Again
Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Plymouth, Massachusetts
Lush, green.
Just about there must be a free flowing stream.
Wildly dense.
Young pines are thriving.
Here,
Fowler's Toad, almost invisible.
Over there,
Oriole likes to be seen.
So many flowers, buzzing.
Emergent forest celebrates...

Living Dunes
Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts
Swallows have arrived for the summer,
digging burrows in dunes with their feet and wings,
faces all in sand.
Dunes do not stand still
and looking at this work, I can't help but ask: Will they hold ?
Graceful flyovers surround. What a scene !
Yes, they will hold...
