It was a windy day when I recently walked along the Charles River. The river itself did not move very fast. The water was low and though it be mid-April, all around were the dead leaves of the previous seasons. Only a few daffodils brightened the shore. I decided to work with what I had and so I photographed the leaves in their watery haunt. Most of the images didn’t come out, at least to my liking, but this one seemed rather poetic to me.

A gentle snow falls so that white now covers these colors I saw yesterday at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.

What is there to say? A magic moment in the Boston Public Garden watching this little creature dig about in the dirt for nuts.

I glanced out the window and saw something drifting down from the sky. At first I thought them the biggest snow flakes I’d ever seen.But when I went to the window I saw that they were in fact feathers. I looked up and around, and there it was on top of a nearby utility pole, a hawk feeding on its kill.
As I tried to focus my camera around the oak tree branches … thank goodness, they are still bare … the hawk stopped feeding, spread its wings and flew away only to be immediately replaced by another hawk. A mating pair perhaps.
These were large birds but it was not a sunny day so perhaps their outstretched wings which seemed so large to me cast no shadows down below and that’s why all the people standing on the sidewalk below the pole never noticed nature at work above them.

I am indeed perplexed by this world today – the ugliness, the violence, the pettiness, and the thoughtlessness – but I do find serenity in the woods.

Even as I compose this post I hear birds around me in the cityscape and so …
red and gold
… I think I shall rise to go outside with my camera and see what birds in city branches I might capture on this beautiful day.

These birds, berries and branches were photographed this past weekend in parks located in Boston, Newton and Saugus.

This winged beauty landed in the tree across the street just as we entered the Breakheart Reservation in Saugus. https://www.mass.gov/locations/breakheart-reservation
