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.

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

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
