Sandy Neck, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Sauntering over dunes in the company of birds, amidst young leaves and flowers...
warming sunrays reach each grain of sand with their dusting sparkles,
glowing through leaves, and
reflecting off birds' eyes into mine...
Crane Beach, Massachusetts
... sand is on the fly, the beach is in motion...
I stand on solid ground but my body floats... feels like being on the over-the-clouds stroll...
Crane Beach, Massachusetts
Windy and cool but it is May when the beach lives as a return point for Sandpipers and Piping Plovers,
coming from afar to their summer homes...
Sandpipers in ensembles, enjoying melodic flights in synchrony with the wind and ocean...
and Piping Plovers in singulars, moving with the purpose...
Brooks Woodland Preserve, Massachusetts
The woodlands of Massachusetts...
Once the homes of Indians and farmlands of colonial settlers...
so special to saunter through these lands and rejoice with characters and sounds of reborn wilderness...
