Secretively

Brewster's Woods, Concord, Massachusetts
 
Wood Ducks are hard to see.
  They come here for the summer,
    find their homes in overgrown swampy ponds,
  where lilies like to settle and bloom at the same time.

I wonder how it may feel to be in their place?

 Obscured by the bushes.
 Relaxing on the fallen tree trunk.
 Floating in silence, through reflections.

All is so close to the eyes and touch.

   Must be a paradise...

Brewster's Woods : ... summer on the swampy ponds...

Brewster's Woods : ... where lilies bloom...

Brewster's Woods : ... where high grasses seclude...

Brewster's Woods : ... and wood ducks come for the summer...

Brewster's Woods : ... obscured by the bushes...

Brewster's Woods : ... I wonder how it may feel to be in their place ?...

Brewster's Woods : ... relaxing on the fallen tree trunk...

Brewster's Woods : ... with the eyes...

Brewster's Woods : ... close to the petals...

Brewster's Woods : ... floating in silence...

Brewster's Woods : ... through reflections...

Brewster's Woods : ... must be a paradise...
