late summer…
a trance of sun
on lily pads

 

turtles on a log 9-26-16
turtles balance the sun on a log
turtle line up on a log at Sapsucker Woods 9-26-16
turtles vy for space on the log
late summer... the trance of light on lily pads
turtle swimming in light
turtle surfacing -
turtle suspended -
this life suspension...shadows of leaves in the pool
water over the dam...
leaf in a shallow near Potter's Fall...

Looking in to one of the ponds at the Plantations... 4-12-14
Cornell
In one section of the stream -part of the Susquehanna- it ran through a chute under logs very swift moving and carrying right along some blue sky in a blur...4-11-15
stream winding through woods and fields below the hill the rest area was located on... here was looking down through hemlocks at a pool in the stream...4-11-15
Reflective beauty in a back water pool off of the fast flowing main stream of Six Mile this beautiful Sunday... the winter was a distant memory, long gone, far away today! 4-12-15

is it the prize
of growing older
these vivid dreams
so much more dramatic
then what I do awake
