Body and Soul

Dune Trails, Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts

 The glacial and marine journal of Cape Cod opens up its body and soul on these sand dunes.
  Softly rolling, ever-changing,
    where the power of sea and wind creates the dynamics of being and passing,

      and staying, remote and unbroken... 

Cape Cod NS: ... sand dunes...

Cape Cod NS: ... a body and soul of the glacial and marine journal...

Cape Cod NS: ... where each step makes a mark...

Cape Cod NS: ... and each view waits...

Cape Cod NS: ... for a moment...

Cape Cod NS: ... in this playhouse...

Cape Cod NS: ... where wind has the last word...

Cape Cod NS: ... and sand obeys...

Cape Cod NS: ... sweeps...

Cape Cod NS: ... ovals...

Cape Cod NS: ... in dynamics...

Cape Cod NS: ... of being...


Cape Cod NS: ... passing...

Cape Cod NS: ... and staying, remote and unbroken...

Rock Stars of Sand Dunes

Castle Neck, Crane Estate, Massachusetts

 Hudsonia is in bloom.
  Yellow clusters of flowers are bringing meadowy feelings to the dunes....

  A pioneer in the shifting world of sand and wind,
     knows how to play this game...
  And when those who do not know them think they are on the brink of death,
 
     she throws all the shine to the fore, as if saying
  Hey we are here to stay... 

Castle Neck: ... Hudsonia is in bloom...

Castle Neck: ... yellow clusters...

Castle Neck: ... bringing meadowy feelings...

Castle Neck: ... a pioneer...

Castle Neck: ... in the trying world...

Castle Neck: ... knows how to play this game...

Castle Neck: ... while some watch...

Castle Neck: ... digging herself from the sand...

Castle Neck: ... throws all the shine to the fore...

Castle Neck: ... as if saying we are here to stay...

Blue Skies

Crane Beach, Massachusetts
  
One day after the blizzard...
   in the company of deers' steps,
       through deep snow, over sand dunes...

I know these trails, but today there are none,
     only the wind,
        hidden in the drifts and curves of this place... 

Crane Beach: ... only one...

Crane Beach: ... one day after the blizzard...

Crane Beach: ... follow the wind...

Crane Beach: ... through deep snow...

Crane Beach: ... amidst the drifts...

Crane Beach: ... and the story...

Crane Beach: ... the pines look well...

Crane Beach: ... with the blue skies...

Crane Beach: ... this was the trail...

Crane Beach: ... into the woods...

Crane Beach: ... where pines know how to survive...

Crane Beach: ... and deers' tracks show the way...

Crane Beach: ... out on the dunes...

Crane Beach: ... a piece of trail appears over there...

Crane Beach: ... might be here...

Crane Beach: ... oops...

Crane Beach: ... and sliding downhill...

Crane Beach: ... wondrous...

Crane Beach: ... pathway...

Crane Beach: ... with each step anew...

Crane Beach: ... tracing along...

Crane Beach: ... with the glides...

Crane Beach: ... in this daylong fairy-tale...

Crane Beach: ... where the wind lays in the waves...

Crane Beach: ... sweeps...

Crane Beach: ... and moments of delight...
