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...
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
The trees are in their winter stoical mode, ready to endure...
The seeds are here for birds...
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
When the world turns to white
there is nothing but the snowflakes
and silhouettes,
vanishing into the gusts and swirls of crystals...
Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
The paths and ponds are frozen...
I feel the cold in my fingers, the gloves not doing much...
And in the midst of this biting surge,
a pair of Mallards,
their bright orange legs infused in warmth...
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
One of those mornings when I awake in white and smile...
Flat Rock Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
Cold, crisp and moist, the low Sun...
She comes with her toolbox
and makes subtle forms burst to life while in sleep...
