Where are They ?

Walden Pond, Concord, Massachusetts


Warm days have arrived.

 Snowflakes are dissolving, not leaving, just changing.

  Do I see them ? 

  In the rising bubbles of the melting crystals.

  In the unveiled earth patches.

    

 Watering the woods.

  Do I see them in this baby pine ?... 

Walden Pond: … warm days have arrived…

Walden Pond: … snowflakes are dissolving…

Walden Pond: … not leaving…

Walden Pond: … just changing…

Walden Pond: … do I see them ?…

Walden Pond: … in the rising bubbles of the melting crystals…

Walden Pond: … in the unveiled earth patches…

Walden Pond: … overtly artisan…

Walden Pond: … do I see them in this baby pine ?…

Traces

Estabrook Woods, Concord, Massachusetts


A few days after the blizzard.

 Soft drifts are at rest

  and

 the trees are standing, being themselves.

  

 Others, 

  tracing where paths do not appear 

   unless already passed.

  

 Stepping on someone's footprints, in the hope that they will hold. 

  Sometimes they do,

    very often they don't 

 and my boot sinks into the hole... 

Estabrook Woods: … a few days after…

Estabrook Woods: … soft drifts at rest…

Estabrook Woods: … standing there, being themselves…

Estabrook Woods: … others tracing through…

Estabrook Woods: … staying grounded…

Estabrook Woods: … where paths do not appear…

Estabrook Woods: … unless already passed…

Estabrook Woods: … those that stand…

Estabrook Woods: … stream…

Estabrook Woods: … and roll along…

Estabrook Woods: … parting…

Estabrook Woods: … because trees are on the way…

Estabrook Woods: … it does not matter much, does it ?…

Estabrook Woods: … flowing shadows…

Estabrook Woods: … and a deer’s footprints…

Estabrook Woods: … in the deep snow…

Blizzard

Cambridge, Massachusetts


When Nature comes for a visit

 it feels as if the urban life has stopped.

   

Cars are not moving.

 Streets, 

  empty of the traffic sounds. None to be heard.

   

Bikes are hanging in there, waiting.

   

Robin looks around from the branch, 

   somewhat surprised 

or NOT 

    and then flies away.

   

Leaving me in the crystal whirlpools of silence... 



Cambridge: … this morning…

Cambridge: … a blizzard comes for a visit…

Cambridge: … it feels as if urban life has stopped…

Cambridge: … cars are not moving…

Cambridge: … streets, empty of traffic sounds…

Cambridge: … hanging in there, waiting…

Cambridge: … trees are somewhat surprised…

Cambridge: … or not…

Cambridge: … does it matter ?…

Cambridge: … when it fades…

Cambridge: … and flies away…

Cambridge: … leaving me in the crystal whirlpool of silence…

Moving Forward

Crane Estate, Ipswich, Massachusetts


Deep snow ascent.

  Nobody has passed except a deer.

 Following her footsteps.

  

 Then she turns to the right 

   and 

       I move on…

Castle Hill: ... moving forward…

Snowing

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Spirited flutter in the air.

 Brings this misty sense of knowing that IT might be there.

  With the touch of ethereal.

   

    Inspired playfulness is everywhere.

   

 On the branches and the leaves.

 In the sunken depths of snow,

  and 

 the marks left behind.

 Where each and every character comes together,


  and the world is dancing...

Some Stick Around

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts 

More snow and cold. 
  Birds among the withered,  looking for leftover seeds. 

 Lifeless whiteness does not look inviting. 
   But they are here, 
     fluffed in warmth...
Fresh Pond: ... more snow and cold...
