Roaring Nor'easter

Cape Ann, Massachusetts

... waves in my eyes, the roaring sounds,
        and a nebulous feeling of being in touch with the Planet... 

Cape Ann: ... hilly ocean...

Cape Ann: ... roaring...

Cape Ann: ... in strength...




Cape Ann: ... breaching the barriers...

Cape Ann: ... rolling...

Cape Ann: ... into the mist...

Cape Ann: ... of windy rhythms...

Cape Ann: ... and foamy whiteness...

Unexpected Snowflakes

Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

... I see them...
These snow crystals dance on the wings of the lightest breeze, dotting misty views...
    some land on my hand, some on the leaves... not making a difference... 

Wachusett Meadow: ... unexpected snowflakes...

Wachusett Meadow: ... dotting misty views...

Wachusett Meadow: ... some land on the leaves...

Wachusett Meadow: ... dusting...

Wachusett Meadow: ... showing...

Wachusett Meadow: ... falling...

Wachusett Meadow: ... and retouching...

Wachusett Meadow: ... the woodland...

Wachusett Meadow: ... ah, these crystals...

Wachusett Meadow: ... and the steps they leave...

These Wintry Moments

Breakheart Reservation, Massachusetts

Hard to find the winter?
  Look for these shady places where few sunrays visit... but a single sparkle is enough...  

Breakheart: ... looking for the winter...

Breakheart: ... these shady places...

Breakheart: ... where water drips over...

Breakheart: ... into the sculpted world of icicles...

Breakheart: ... and rocks...

Breakheart: ... in the poetry...

Breakheart: ... of light...

Tracing the Ocean

Crane Beach, Massachusetts

Low tide is at 11AM, just about the time we will be here...
  ... when the ocean flows away, leaving the sand sculpted in his own image...
    ... the dynamics of undulations, waves and ripples, it is all HERE...
 
    ... in this fabled world... 

Crane Beach: ... when the ocean flows away...

Crane Beach: ... weaving through the sand...

Crane Beach: ... gliding...

Crane Beach: ... sculpting...

Crane Beach: ... look here...

Crane Beach: ... slipping from the sand...

Crane Beach: ... rippling...

Crane Beach: ... in the image...

Crane Beach: ... of the ocean...

Crane Beach: ... coming... high tide in three hours...

  ... have not seen and heard them for a while and I've missed them... their burbles and sparkles,
       cascading through the forest, and a happy beings around them...  

Fells: ... a lively stream!!! after all these months...

Fells: ... cascading, sparkling...

Birdly Living

Mass Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts

First sunny day after the snow storm.
Most of the unworn nature is in white blanket, the temps hover around -8°C.
   Harsh times for birds. But they keep spirits. For them, it is a matter of survival...
      ... their life force passes through my soul, I feel privileged...

Ipswich River: ... harsh times...

Ipswich River: ... but they keep spirits...

Ipswich River: ... with seeds...

Ipswich River: ... and no fear...




Ipswich River: ... what?...

Ipswich River: ... plainly simple...

Ipswich River: ... eyeful...

Ipswich River: ... sooooo Big...

Ipswich River: ... is this crowding?...

Ipswich River: ... hardly...

Ipswich River: ... up the tower...

Ipswich River: ... and she knows...

Ipswich River: ... fine to wait for a moment...

Ipswich River: ... while under the snow...
