Just then the chirping
Sky filled with black birds in flight
A flutter of wings.

Creek flows, mini-falls.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky to have a wealth of hiking paths near our home.
Today we ventured on the “Elephant Rock Trail” that is part of the NC Botanical Garden trails.

Art Prescription: Every day gives us the opportunity to celebrate now. The good in our lives.
