Crane Beach, Massachusetts
On the verge of the sea... where ebbing tides leave the canvas of streams and sea-plants,
and Piping Plovers time their visits to forage for food...
... this is called a "wrack zone"...
... sounds like a zone where things destroyed are deposited,
and "things destroyed" in human jargon are the things one can simply throw away...
Looking at these sea-plants and those nimble birds,
I am enchanted by the vitality of the whole scenery,
and I simply cannot call this world a "wrack zone"...

Well-Timed Crowds
Crane Beach, Massachusetts
The Trustees have opened Crane Beach to the public after months of being COVID-19 closed.
At the time when avian crowds gather here to raise their young...
... or take a rest on their way to the north...
... the sand grasps their steps, the air their personas...
... and in the midst of all this motion, a thought... I am just an outsider...

Clovering
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
COVID-19 has stopped the mowing of pastime meadows
and opened the space and time for clovers to bloom...
Sprinkled flowers around overgrown grassy surfaces... and bees... the faces seldom seen here...
... imbued with the energy of release...

See Them, Hear Them
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
During these COVID-19 days, Fresh Pond has become our second home...
... our window to nature...

... and Life Goes On...
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Peaceful morning on closed golf course...
Canada Geese with their young in slow motion... feels like the safest place,
so distant from COVID-19...
... nature in her own unspoiled rhythm...

Through the Window
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Flowering right in front of my window...
I have known this Crabapple for many years, back when she was a little tree.
She has grown over the years, and then out-grown her own capacity to live healthy among all her neighbors who have brought an extra shade into this corner of the yard. Two years ago, it came down to life or death and we, humans, chose life - the therapy to help bring her health back...
... I look at her young leaves and flowers... exchanging smiles through the window...
