Keeping Distance

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Mockingbird likes to stand on tops of electric poles or high-up on chimneys.
Inspired by the sounds of cars and trucks, she creates her own melodies,
   and in her strong voice sends the message:
      I am here as well and I can out-voice you... just keep listening and remain at distance...

Mockingbird: ... immersed...

Mockingbird: ...

Mockingbird: ... hm... who are you?... definitely not trustworthy...
Mockingbird: ... moving...

Mockingbird: ... to the higher grounds...

Is It Spring?

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

COVID-19 stay-at-home... the spring is sneaking through the windows...
   Morning songs urge trees to wake-up. And the trees I can see are cautious as if still not convinced...
   ... all is so close and, at the same time, distant...

   I feel the need for a place where I can touch the spring... 

Fresh Pond: ... spring colors...

Fresh Pond: ... down at the base...

Fresh Pond: ... capturing...

Fresh Pond: ... spreading...

Fresh Pond: ... vivaciously...

Fresh Pond: ... attracting...

Fresh Pond: ... gracefully...

Fresh Pond: ... touching...

Fresh Pond: ... with her gaze...

Fresh Pond: ... at the family...

Fresh Pond: ... and the spring...

Part of a Bigger Whole

Blue Hills Reservation, Massachusetts

... COVID-19 pandemic...
  ... I am in Whole Foods Market...
       Nitrile Gloves on my hands,  Neck Gaiter over my nose,
         making sure to keep distance from other people...

  Is Nature trying to remind me that I am just a part of a bigger whole ?...

Blue Hills: ... thinly frozen...

Blue Hills: ... streaming...

Blue Hills: ... over the sky...

Blue Hills: ... over the crowns...

Blue Hills: ... into the forest...

Blue Hills: ... streaming...

Blue Hills: ... mutually...

Blue Hills: ... immersed...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... in theatrical displays...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... cascading...

Blue Hills: ... together...

Blue Hills: ... where light reflects...

Blue Hills: ... is it just a mirror?...

Blue Hills: ... or a fantasy?...

Blue Hills: ... or curly mosses?...

Blue Hills: ... coming...

Blue Hills: ... going... with a little help from the rocks...

Blue Hills: ... to the roots...

Blue Hills: ... of this world...

Blue Hills Pathways

Blue Hills Reservation, Massachusetts

Somewhere between winter and spring...
   ... the time when trees are still asleep...
   ... and millions of leafless branches reflect the sunlight into shining symphony...

Blue Hills: ... peeking...

Blue Hills: ... just a boulder...

Blue Hills: ... just a mishap...

Blue Hills: ... rocky ascent...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... to the high point...

Blue Hills: ... in winter clothing... gently patting...

Blue Hills: ... winding...

Blue Hills: ... honored by their greens...

Blue Hills: ... and by shining symphony of leafless branches...

Blue Hills: ...

Blue Hills: ... where in the midst of browns...

Blue Hills: ... young forest is being born...

Blue Hills: ... peeking...
