Still the Time...

Crane Beach, Massachusetts
  
 ... the day is coming to a close, already...
      amidst fainting grasses
          this pair of lively birds, hopping over swirling branches of a dead tree... 

Especial Moments

Crane Beach, Massachusetts
  
   ... with the autumn sunlight... 

Unsinkable

 Brooks Woodland Preserve, Massachusetts
   
Walking along the swollen brook...
  After many rainy days, the bordering woodland is floating.
   Animals have retreated, some may have arrived...

       ... and the plants have stayed, creating this place of stoical beauty...

In the Shine

Brooks Woodland Preserve, Massachusetts
  
Autumn in the beech woodland...
  the leaves are up in the air, glowing
   and then come closer while I walk along,
        holding tightly to my eyes as if trying to keep me here forever... 

Grasshopper

Appleton Farms, Ipswich, Massachusetts
  
She is a good jumper and loves grasses...
   now sitting in the autumn palette,
    with her big multi-lens eyes that see the whole world in just a single peek...

        and I wonder about my place in this picture ? 

... of Colors

Appleton Farms, Ipswich, Massachusetts
  
... when nature slows down... trees are readying for long winter sleep,
      releasing the leaves in blazing deluge of the sun's energy and

         the thoughts ------ thank you for my life...  

Golden

Crane Beach, Massachusetts
 
Seaside Goldenrod makes these sand-bound meadows radiate the sunshine...
      in steps with each flower and butterfly,
        while light wind ruffles golden quietude...
