wild basin


Needing to stomp off a vile mood due to calling the police at 2 a.m. for some idiotic noisy neighbors, decided it was time to explore Wild Basin.  Gorgeous day for a hike; high 70s & breezy.


Saw rainbows dancing about the trail and couldn't figure out from where they were coming and found this odd cage-like structure.  My kind of arachnids.


An inviting trailhead.


The gurgle of a creek.



Sweeping vista of newly opened leaves.

  1. Mary Oliver - The Truro Bear

    There’s a bear in the Truro woods.
    People have seen it - three or four,
    or two, or one. I think
    of the thickness of the serious woods
    around the dark bowls of the Truro ponds;
    I think of the blueberry fields, the blackberry tangles,
    the cranberry bogs. And the sky
    with its new moon, its familiar star-trails,
    burns down like a brand-new heaver,
    while everywhere I look on the scratchy hillsides
    shadows seem to grow shoulders. Surely
    a beast might be clever, be lucky, move quietly
    through the woods for years, learning to stay away
    from roads and houses. Common sense mutters:
    it can’t be true, it must be somebody’s
    runaway dog. But the seed
    has been planted, and when has happiness ever
    required much evidence to begin
    its leaf-green breathing?

    A hike sounds the perfect antidote. Yours in leaf-green breathing,

    1. Yes, it was nice to go before it gets truly hot here and hiking won't be an option.
