Hummingbirds fuel up
For their long fall migration
Lots of fall flowers.
Art Prescription: I’m still seeing hummingbirds coming to fall blooms. They won’t be around for long as they prepare for migration.

Glide Two August 26, 2015
She knows her domain
Is at one with elements
Shows you who she is.
Art Prescription: A friend of mine recently reminded me, “If people show you who they are, believe them.” Once again I’m drawn to the deeper consciousness that is our animal world. Always asking what can we learn?
This is my second sea turtle. The first one I did with alcohol inks which was fun and bright and bold. This one is softer, done with watercolor. 8 1/2 x 11 watercolor
Hummer in the Flowers August 2, 2015
Outside my window
Hummingbirds play, drink nectar
From lush, sweet, flowers.

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.
Bye Brown March 29, 2015
Bye brown, step aside
Green, it’s your turn to shine bright
Cover the meadows.
Art Prescription: Spring abundance makes the dull browns of winter worth it.

Intricate pattern
These creatures who take to flight
Feathers, part of wings.

Long weekend mornings.
