Cocoon of pure gold
She opens her sapphire wings
And glides into space.

Honeysuckle May 17, 2015
Wild woodsy perfume
Yellow honeysuckle vines
Unruly tangle.
Art Prescription: Walked Mason Farm. The woods are heady with the scent of honeysuckle. This invasive vine winds itself around anything standing. Maybe we dismissed it’s misbehavior because it’s so fragrant.

Warblers May 11, 2015
Big song from tree tops
Hard to find this small warbler
Prothonotary!
Art Prescription: Throughout our stay at Primland we kept hearing a distinct song in the tree-tops. Finally yesterday I got a view of this small warbler. It’s a guess, but
I
think it’s a Prothonotary Warbler.
