Taking Photos on Cape Ann
Like the hummingbird, I flit from one bright spot
to another, sucking the nectar from deep within.
Like the hummingbird, I appear motionless
just before I take my sustenance from the flower.
Like the hummingbird, I am gone before you see me;
I leave – sated with the fullness of my life.
Like the hummingbird, I know my way
and revisit my favorite places.
Like the hummingbird, I am nurtured by
the colors, perfume and sweetness of this garden.

I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.
