Spring March 20, 2014

She makes grand entrance

The star of the show appears

Curtains open, spring!!

Art Prescription:  So happy to see the sun coming up this morning. I can see why after days with no sun, ancient civilizations began to worry. A large star indeed!

Here comes the sun

Horseback March 19, 2014

View from the saddle

Velvet attentive ears, and

Exhilaration!

Art Prescription:  I rode Doc today at Women’s Intuitive Riding at Blue Skies http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us. Looking down at his beautiful profile and soft ears, I couldn’t help but think of what a spectacular view this is!

Quiet Woods March 18, 2014

My steps and tree frogs

Miniature waterfalls

Only sounds in woods.

Art Prescription:  It is too quiet in the woods for a March day. After another wintry weather day, the creek is full and there is a steady drip-drop off the trees. Wet, cold, misty…why would anyone be out bird-watching!! I scan the trees for owls!! Saw a hawk and a cute little Kinglet.

Holiday Countdown 2

March Lion March 17, 2014

March lion spits ice

Daffodils hang their heads low

With disappointment.

Art Prescription:  Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…
