Passing Through

Doane's Falls, Royalston, Massachusetts   

Hemlock sparkles amidst the whooshing vibrations of cascading Lawrence
  and the ferns, mosses and lichens listen, safe and sound on the rocks.

    Coming together to flourish in the glamour of passing through... 

Doane's Falls: ... hemlock sparkles...

Doane's Falls: ... amidst the whooshing vibrations of cascading Lawrence...

Doane's Falls: ... a glimpse...

Doane's Falls: ... through the breaks...

Doane's Falls: ... and tumbles...

Doane's Falls: ... while the path stays on his own...

Doane's Falls: ... and ferns make sure they are not on the way...

Doane's Falls: ... enjoying as much the views...

Doane's Falls: ... of the river...

Doane's Falls: ... swashing it in delight...

Doane's Falls: ... while others watch...

Doane's Falls: ... from above...

Doane's Falls: ... or closer...

Doane's Falls: ... to the jumping splashes...

Doane's Falls: ... and the rocky bubbles...

Doane's Falls: ... embraced...

Doane's Falls: ... by the woods...

Doane's Falls: ... in the glamour...

Doane's Falls: ... of passing through...

Shines Outside and Inside

Rutland Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

The clouds have finally dispersed and the open blue is pushing through.

These are the moments to perceive the spectacle of dynamics that the sunlight brings to a woodland.
  The whole place is animated in the theatrics of light and shade,
     and each atom shines in the Sun's energy bursts...

  Is this how JOY comes about ?  

Rutland Brook: ... on the other side...

Rutland Brook: ... and coming...

Rutland Brook: ... the clouds have finally dispersed...

Rutland Brook: ... and the Sun arrives...

Rutland Brook: ... with the stories...

Rutland Brook: ... of light and shade...

Rutland Brook: ... of motions...

Rutland Brook: ... frozen in time...

Rutland Brook: ... of the woodland...

Rutland Brook: ... where each member plays a role...

Rutland Brook: ... of the moments...

Rutland Brook: ... when each atom shines...

Rutland Brook: ... in the Sun's energy bursts...

A Little Winter

Rutland Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

Winter is snow, icicles, frost...
  all about frozen sparkles, at least in my mind.
      But this season, she is nowhere, almost nowhere to be found.

   So, we've packed ourselves to look up Rutland, hoping for a little winter... 

Rutland Brook: ... burbling...

Rutland Brook: ... winding...

Rutland Brook: ... through hallways...

Rutland Brook: ... amidst icicles...

Rutland Brook: ... a little winter...

Rutland Brook: ... sculpting...

Rutland Brook: ... along the way...

Laughing Brook

Laughing Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

We are on the way along the brook named by Thornton W. Burgess,
   the well-known author of many stories for children,
     inspired by this piece of land and the brook that passes across...

The given name suggests the liveliness, the closeness, the friendship,
   and the moments of being together in spirited rambles through the woods...

Laughing Brook: ... spring is water...

Laughing Brook: ... cascading...

Laughing Brook: ... reflecting...

Laughing Brook: ... embracing...

Laughing Brook: ... stop for a moment...

Laughing Brook: ... listen to these passing burbles...

Laughing Brook: ... awakening swamp lanterns...

Laughing Brook: ... in spring colors...

Laughing Brook: ... as if watching...

Laughing Brook: ... this split rock...

Laughing Brook: ... as if watching...

Laughing Brook: ... this buoyancy that water brings...

Laughing Brook: ... along the way...

Laughing Brook: ... stop for a moment...

Laughing Brook: ... while she keeps flowing...
