Evening on the Marsh — photograph by Gary Becker

A path shaped by light and memory, where the land breathes in its own quiet rhythm. Markers stand in quiet insistence—small declarations of order in a place that needs none. The forest does not resist, nor does it yield. It simply remains, unchanged by the passing will of man.

Porcelain Berries

I didn't know what these were until I looked them up. Beautiful but an agressive invasive species.

Squirrel secretly surveys the marsh

This squirrel appeared to think he was well hidden when I rounded the curve circumnavigating Spring Lake. He stayed for some time, half-sequestered but obvious behind his tree.

Tree Fungi

A Watchful Gaze

Hidden among the leaves, a raccoon pauses to observe its surroundings with quiet intensity.

Mushrooms

A pair of mushrooms set in on old Willow truck

Sunset at Abbott Marshlands

I took this photo thinking it was a good representation of a beautiful sunset in nature interrupted by the high tension wires.

Butterfly Being a Butterfly

The Habit of Care

Some kindness isn’t planned. It happens in passing—on a trail, in winter light—when people decide that leaving less behind is reason enough.

Breath of life

A mute swan exhales into the cold morning air at Spring Lake in the Abbott Marshlands, its breath briefly visible as light and warmth meet winter. In that fleeting moment, the breath of life becomes visible—quiet, resilient, and deeply rooted in the marsh.
