Snowy Wonder

Estabrook Woods, Concord, Massachusetts

First snow. Expected.
 In today's meteorology we know what is to come.
 
 No surprises.

 Reminds me of Daniel Gilbert's thoughts:

 The price we pay
 for our irrepressible explanatory urge is
 that we often spoil our most pleasant experiences
 by making good sense of them.  

 Even so,
  
  I am in the woods, rejoicing the snowflakes...

How is your Winter?

Walden Pond, Concord, Massachusetts

    Getting closer...

Rejoining

Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts

Is it the last leaf ?  
 
The distance comes closer on the wings.
  Sea Ducks are back...

So am I

 Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

    In this world of water...

Into the Twilight

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Middle of the day.
  Geese seem to be leaving, in the shades of sundown.
   And soon enough, it gets darker.
 
Black's Nook dried-out Lotuses leave the space for Mergansers.
 
  Floating into the night...

Kids are Gone

Drumlin Farm, Lincoln, Massachusetts

Farmland is getting a breather.
 
 Kids are gone.
  Only the house, the shadows and sparkles of low sun...

Among Leaves

Weir Hill, North Andover, Massachusetts

Leaves have been working hard from the spring
 and now is the time
  to say goodbye.
 
  What a goodbye !!!!
