The old tree sways with changes

And I could do no work at all.

Asters September 9, 2017
Aster family
Takes center stage in the fall
Wildflowers galore.
Art Prescription: We hiked our usual haunt Mason Farm looking for migrating warblers. High in the canopy, they evaded us. We did admire the meadows full of wildflowers. Then I went to sketch at the North Carolina Botanical Garden.

Hurricane September 7, 2017
The Atlantic churns
America together
We love thy neighbor.
Art Prescription: Instead of the differences that have been in the news in the last months, lately I’ve seen Americans coming together to help one-another. People from all backgrounds pulling together, working as teams, spreading love.
This is the country I’m proud of.
Here in North Carolina we are in danger of being in the path of Irma. Be well my neighbor.
