Plein Air Poetry Walk and Basho's Haiku in Harvard, Massachusetts

We went on a day trip to Harvard, Mass. to visit Old Frog Pond Farm  & Studio.

This beautiful organic farm is very peaceful. On the property is a wonderfully wild pond with lilies. Near the pond is a beautiful screened in Meditation Cabin which is well used.

I loved the art work and sculptures that graced the scenery.

There was a deep stillness on these grounds. 

It was an extremely hot day. The summer sun was at high noon. 

I found and bought organic blueberries and raspberries that had been lovingly hand picked early in the day. My poet friend  had just spent 20 minutes in the meditation cabin writing a poem for the upcoming Frog Pond's upcoming event: Plein Air Poetry Walk on Sunday, September 13, 2015. He was also thrilled to find fresh kale for sale. His eyes  sparkled  for either the poetry success or the kale.  Either way,  he was very happy to spend an afternoon in this magical spot.

Pictures tell a better story than words.
