always now
the moment
blurring

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

the wind in the trees
reminds me
that what once was
so important
just passes by

 

 

A great big cloud formation over Flat Rocks from yesterday ... 4-4-15
branches over head creating a lattice to the sky ...4-4-15
A nest left behind from last year beginning to show through some of the threads and strings from the walk yesterday at the Cornell Botanic Garden.,. 4-04-15
Another pond at Cornell Plantations with ice slowly receding... 4-4-15
Cornell Botanic Garden pond 4-4-15
Looking through one fence at another fence reflected in a puddle with the sky and clouds 4-4-15
less abstract of the same view...
Along the walk a look into a puddle with some mosaic of pine and sky...4-4-15
late in the day the ground warmth was enough that the snow was unable to land there withoutout melting but on surfaces above the ground it was able to stay... that is my theory for this
little evergreen holding onto its snow covering ... 4-4-15
Yesterday at the Botanic Garden ... a look along the upper pathway...4-4-15
Ithaca Falls 4-4-15 e
Another view of Ithaca Falls with a roaring, raging, torrent of snow melt furiously falling! The force of it all gave off a strong spray laden-ed wind... All the gorges are at high tide
Ithaca Falls today 4-04-15

Christmas day
the sun shows up
new snow

 

speaking softly
snow collects
on her windowsill

 

so many changes…
winter wind through
bare trees

beginning a walk
with no mind
for what was
or what will be
just what is…
