A taproot anchors

This cheerful yellow yard weed

A bee’s paradise.

Art Prescription:  The lowly Dandelion… Actually studies have shown this “weed” to have many health benefits. Bee enthusiast say don’t pull them because they support the bees.

Bees March 31, 2015

Swarm of honey bees

The weight on a new spring branch

Queen rules colony.

Art Prescription:  Saw this on my walk today. So amazing and beautiful. Swarming behavior only occurs in spring when the Queen Bee decides to start a new colony and leaves with thousands of worker bees in search of a new nest. Meanwhile they swarm in unexpected places.

Her yellow suitcase

Is packed thanks to the cosmos

Wait, the sunflower!

Art Prescription:  I adore watching the bees hover around my garden filling their pollen pouches with yellow gold. They get so loaded down, and yet they move on to the next bloom and the next…clearly inebriated!  New wedding invitation designs!

Busy, busy, bees

Yo-yo over red bee balm

Fill up on the sweet.

Art Prescription:  Idyllic July day. Spent most of it outside admiring my garden and then walked over to the North Carolina Botanical Garden.  The abundance of flowers is intoxicating.

Buzzy things with wings

Fill the air showing off their

Aerodynamics!

Art Prescription:  As the weather warms there’s a lot more action in the air. Birds, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies! Here in North Carolina we have several different species of dragonflies…it’s fun to try and identify them. And oh yea, there’s the damselfly too!

Karma goes around

Bricks laid with love are secure

With lies, no framework.

Art Prescription:  Nature does a great job with teaching us about reliability. Seasons come and go, and nature knows her beauty to perform. Nature cannot fake you out…the bees know which way to go!! Trust your inner wisdom for guidance. Only you know what soothes your soul.

Consider yellow

A fog of purpose which coats

Vendor of pure sex!

Art Prescription: Here in NC we are waking to mornings of yellow pollen coating on everything! Nature is the biggest flirt ever, intoxicating the bees. Each day spring is expanding her reach.  Are you living true to your purpose? Are you? Express it with creativity!
