It’s spring-like weather
Flocks of birds sing high in pines
Nature marches on.

Instinct May 17, 2017
Pure instinct, the flight
The wave of wing to his mate
And the nest begins.
Art Prescription: My chickadee batch fledged. And now a pair of blue birds are claiming the box. I adore seeing them messaging each other with subtle wing waves.
Index card with graphite and colored pencil:
Open Heart March 3, 2017
A blue bird of hope
Lives within the open heart
Ready to take flight.
Art Prescription: My chop says, “hope,” or “rare expectation” in Chinese.

Cold Front January 10, 2016
Cold front moving in
Wind whips tree branches, rattles
Blue birds hunker down.
Art Prescription: What a fuss? Blue birds claiming territory so early? Perhaps a warm box seems like a good idea!

Snow and Birds February 13, 2014
Gentle falls the snow
Birds perch, shake off now and then
Sunflower seed, gone!
Art Prescription: Lovely snow and lucky my job does not require me to leave my cozy nest. When I worked as a nurse in the hospital, I used to go no matter what. Thank you to all the workers who are out there trying to keep people safe. The beautiful colors of the birds stands out against the stark white. Here is a sketch I will color tomorrow…stay tuned.
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!!
Haiku January 5, 2013 Daybreak
Rewards at daybreak
Pink clouds and blue birds, light sky
Perfect stillness, awe!
Art Prescription: Just…well…the sky.
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!!
Haiku November 13, 2012 Blue Birds!
A flicker of blue
Against golden hues of fall
He dips, catches bug!
Art Prescription: Saw a group of blue birds on my walk! They hop from branch to branch, occasionally diving to the ground for a treat. Brilliant jewel color!
Haiku July 26, 2012 Hot out there!
Hot! Morning doves coo,
Air conditioners spin, roar
Dragonflies flicker.
Art Prescription: Has summer always been this hot? Seems 90 degrees plus forecast for weeks on end. Our backyard bird bath is very popular; families of blue birds enjoying a dip, so cute how they stand guard for one another. The simple pleasure of bird watching always brings me joy. I think I saw some sort of Tanager!! I’m reminded through my own ah-hahs that it really is about the simple pleasures.
