Lively Ocean

Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts


Along deep snow and ice balls there is the Ocean.

 Bluish and fluid,

  as if not troubled by this wintry freezing.

 

 Nor are the sea ducks.

 Being carried out by the tides and then flying back.


   Again and again.


 Just in time 

   to enjoy 

 this amusing interplay between the birds and the Ocean... 

Crane Beach: ... sparkly frozen...

Crane Beach: ... along deep snow...

Crane Beach: ... there is the ocean...

Crane Beach: ... bluish and lively, not troubled by this wintry freezing...

Crane Beach: ... nor are they...

Crane Beach: ... being carried out by the tides and then flying back...

Crane Beach: ... in a splash...

Crane Beach: ... flowing with the ocean...

Crane Beach: ... just in time...

Crane Beach: ... for the story...

Crane Beach: ... to unfold...

Crane Beach: ... while the loon takes a nap...

Crane Beach: ... where blue ad white meet...

Crane Beach: ... is it the one or the other?...

Rejoining

Crane Beach, Ipswich, Massachusetts

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

Crane Beach: ... is it the last leaf ?...

Crane Beach: ... the distance...

Crane Beach: ... comes closer on the wings...

Crane Beach: ... to rejoin those that call this place home...

Crane Beach: ... feels good...

Crane Beach: ... to be a part of a group...

Crane Beach: ... in this windy place...

Crane Beach: ... bundled up...

Crane Beach: ... hanging together...

Crane Beach: ... growing winter clothes...

Crane Beach: ... to remain...

Crane Beach: ... in the midst of footprints...

Crane Beach: ... always young...

Crane Beach: ... with the note...

Crane Beach: ... to those who return...

Cold Water

 Halibut Point State Park, Cape Ann, Massachusetts

The ocean is dotted with these teeny beings.
 Sea ducks,
  in high spirits,
   and consonant in motion with the blue.

 They come from the frozen North and winter on this spot, day and night in this cold water.
  How can they survive ?
   
 Perfectly adapted, no worries over here...

Halibut Point: ... the ocean is dotted with these teeny beings...

Halibut Point: ... Harlequins...

Halibut Point: ... they come from the frozen north and winter on this spot...

Halibut Point: ... day and night in this cold water...

Halibut Point: ... never touch the coast...

Halibut Point: ... consonant...

Halibut Point: ... in motion...

Halibut Point: ... and a silent pause...

Halibut Point: ... with the blue...

Halibut Point: ... feel like an outsider ?...

Halibut Point: ... perhaps...

Halibut Point: ... day and night in this cold water...

Halibut Point: ... how can they survive ?...

Halibut Point: ... no worries over here...
