back and forth
the shimmering life
at the tide line…

 

 

gulls in sunset surf at Roger Wheeler Park- Rhode Island
Rhode Island sunrise on the beach by Anchor Motel...
seaside at Roger Wheeler State Beach- Rhode Island-
Rhode Island time it takes to find a peace of mind somewhere...
Rhode Island fishing trawler...
seaside surf line at Rhode Island -Roger Wheeler Beach...
walking the surf line in Rhode Island...
gold surf wash...
touched with light
Roger Wheeler State Beach near Point Judith Lighthouse 5-20-15.
sunset afterglow at Roger Wheeler State Beach near Point Judith Lighthouse 5-20-15
sunset afterglow at Roger Wheeler State Beach near Point Judith Lighthouse 5-20-15...
fishing boat in the Narragansett area in Rhode Island from a visit at this time of year in 2015 ...
surf line -Scarborough Beach, Rhode Island... May 2015 -
fog was almost dripping in Galilee ... Rhode Island
chain dripping a thick fog which made for a great atmosphere to explore the docks of Point Judith-Galilee 5-31-15
bird with a bit of sunset in the surf
sunset gold just before night takes it away...
walking the surf line...
ebbing light scenes along the surf-tide line at Roger Wheeler State Beach- 5-20-15
Berta leaving tracks in the Rhode Island beach sand strolling along listening to waves and shorebirds and nothingness...5-20-15...

the wind

the little flag
from a grave to a puddle
at the cemetery gate…

this back road drive
past so many places
along the way
what is it in these hills
just beyond my reach

 

brook beside our house with Late afternoon sun sparkling .. parts of the creek are still frozen and the open water goes under ice in places but was running nicely this afternoon... 3-19-
clouds covered it but were just thin enough that you could look right at the disc of the sun which looked quite a bit like the moon...3-19-17

from Carlos Castanada

All paths
are the same,
leading nowhere.
Therefore, pick
a path with heart!

 

 

leaves frozen at the surface of a pond in the Cornell Botanic Garden... each one had absorbed the sun just enough to open a bit of space around itself... 1-22-17.
