Meet the Clouds

Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

A place of meadows, forest strolls, beaver ponds...
   ... and a hill where you can meet the clouds... if lucky...

 

Middle of the Summer

Mass Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

Middle of the summer, has not rained much. Water in ponds is so low...
   Lilies do not seem to fuss about that,
   their leaves and flowers are in motion, covering much of the surfaces...
 
   ... radiating petals... just perfect...

Why don't you ask her?

Mass Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

Meadows are glowing... flowery whorls and spikes in pinkish, mixing with greens...
   ... and a butterfly... I know these orange, pearl-bound wings... Monarch, our first of the season...

    Was she born on this meadow?

       Or is this a final stop on her way to Oyamel forests in Central Mexico?...

Swashing Comeback

Crane Beach, Massachusetts

... this one is for the ocean...

Ah, Those Dragonflies

Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Dancing above the water...
  ... touching the leaves...
       ... absorbed by the colors...
    ... and then disappears... like a breeze...

Angles of View

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

A place where many come to enjoy circling around the pond...
   ... a runner's track, a walker's trail... or a pathway to nature...
       I guess it all depends on the angles of view...
