I knew it was going to be a long day of traveling from site to site, and so I told a friend that I would send him dispatches from the road.
Instead, I find myself choosing to share some dispatches from the kitchen as part of a quick coffee break. 
Okay, a last sip, and then back out into the day. Have a good one, folks. 😉

In the field next door behind the chain link fence grow dandelions. Above the yellow heads skim white butterflies. A few starlings walk about. No other animals do I see. Green grass uncut. A few scattered purple pansies. And, always, always, the ash gray and brown bark of the nearby dying trees.

A few images from a return visit to a field in Woburn, Massachusetts.

A very small field in an office park with an amazing variety of wildlife present.

I wasn’t set up to photograph the birds (or record their symphony of birdsong) though I kept catching flashes of bright orange, red, black and gold feathers.

As always, I scared a few rabbits deeper into the underbrush.

No hawks this time or foxes.

In the end …

I mostly focused on the landscape.

The view outside one of my windows, after the rains ended. The sun still shines. I know that I am a lucky person.

or maybe seaweed washed ashore.



In fact, a small bundle of dried spring blossoms found on the ground.
