What a Flutter !!!

 John J. Donovan Reservation, Hamilton, Massachusetts

Meadows are in bloom and motion.

 Colors of the petals mingle with the colors of the wings. 

  And the wind sways around.


   Among grasses. 

  

  That bird with a seed does not look to be in a hurry.

  

  While Monarchs flutter. 

      

  From flower to flower...


Donovan: ... meadows...

Donovan: ... where the wings mingle with the petals...

Donovan: ... in bloom...

Donovan: ... and the motion becomes a part of the story...

Donovan: ... with the wind swaying among grasses...

Donovan: ... that bird does not look to be in a hurry...

Donovan: ... Milkweed stands proudly...

Donovan: ... for Monarchs...

Donovan: ... gliding...

Donovan: ... from flower to flower...

Donovan: ... meadows...

Donovan: ... inviting flutters...

Donovan: ... and wanderings...

Donovan: ... through Thistles...

Donovan: ... where they find each other...

Donovan: ... and how about me?...

Donovan: ... until the next time...

Essex Minutes

John J. Donovan Reservation, Essex Greenbelt, Massachusetts

Wonderful to come to Essex and spend hours ambling across the rolling woods and meadows.
  The autumn vibrates through the maze of tree crowns,
     in the sparkles of sunlight and the rustles of browns, in the living shadows.

   A hawk is up in the blue, watching...  

Essex Greenbelt: ... autumn...

Essex Greenbelt: ... vibrates...

Essex Greenbelt: ... through the maze of tree crowns...

Essex Greenbelt: ... in the sparkles of sunlight...

Essex Greenbelt: ... and the rustles of browns...

Essex Greenbelt: ... in the ambles...

Essex Greenbelt: ... through the woods...

Essex Greenbelt: ... where just a touch...

Essex Greenbelt: ... makes the whole world...

Essex Greenbelt: ... dance...

Essex Greenbelt: ... where those close to the earth keep their green living...

Essex Greenbelt: ... while others turn to crimsons...

Essex Greenbelt: ... and assume the kingsley posture...

Essex Greenbelt: ... of pastoral spirits...

Essex Greenbelt: ... a hawk is watching...

Essex Greenbelt: ... and the living shadow waves back...

Silvery Autumn

Essex Greenbelt, Massachusetts

 Coming close to the water and reeds are here,
    with their silvery plumes,
     reflecting sparkles of sunlight, and swaying in the rhythm of late autumn.

   The whole place is dancing...
