Near Hawk Visit February 17, 2014
Through binoculars
I sight movement in the trees
Hawk at my shoulder!!
Art Prescription: Today’s haiku is momentarily interrupted for a near hawk encounter. I was writing about Mourning Doves…when through my binoculars I caught a glimpse of something in the trees. I searched, but no find. Turned to walk and right there!!! over my left shoulder sat a big hawk. He/she looked at me and I startled…I mean really jumped it was that close! Then I just got quiet and watched. I wondered why this winged beauty was braving my presence. The hawk took off then to join a mate…

Art Prescription: If you look close the swelling buds on the trees tell a story of renewal. Sketchbook…
Love is February 3, 2014
Love is in the air
Along with hot and cold waves
Birds look for houses.
Art Prescription: The weather goes up and down like a roller-coaster. Warm front…arctic blast. My layers of coats and jackets hang ready in the closet. Meanwhile, the birds seem to be right on track.
Windchill January 25, 2014
Cold hush across field
Except for the sound of wind
Blue birds hold on tight.
Art Prescription: Today at Mason Farm we saw lots of blue-birds. Against the very cold and brown winter back-drop they appear like gems!!

December bird count
Binoculars, sketchbook, time
Five miles of shear bliss!!
Art Prescription: Yes! I am a total bird geek. Love watching these colorful, delightful, big-brown eyed beings as they dance, prance, look for food, pick berries, or fly from tree to tree. Here is my sketchbook list from Christmas Day:
