A bird on his perch
Beckons spring and a new nest
He just needs a mate.

Gold Leaf
A bit of gold leaf
My spring imagination
And a pine warbler.
The Sun, she lives
I can totally see how ancient civilizations judged their well-being by the appearance of the sun.
Days of rain and cold and fog does a number on us humans.
Lucky, the sun came out today to reassure us!!
And Blue birds are seeking nests!

ICAD 2016 Cover Card:
Draw a Bird Day October 8, 2015
Sounding the alarm
Squats and bobs, tail held up high
Carolina Wren.
Art Prescription: I love watching these spunky little birds bob and call. They have a distinctive little dance and posture. They are small, but they can cover a big territory with their chattering. Don’t we all need to know how far our voice carries? Are people hearing us when we ask for what we need?

Haiku January 29, 2013 Blue Birds
Love is in the air
He soars from tree, blue twinkles
Spring-fling, flirty bird!!
Art Prescription: After an ice storm 4 days ago, today it’s about 70 degrees here in North Carolina! Step outdoors and you would think spring has launched. The birds know it’s time to start the dance!!
