Big fat dragonflies
Wings flicker in sun over
Turtles on a log.
Art Prescription: It was very “buzzy” at Mason Farm today. Lots of winged insects. Dragonflies big as birds, well, almost. Watercolor pencil on 3 x 5 notecard illustration.

Deep Woods April 27, 2014
Smell of vetiver
Rich, earthy bog, sweet wetlands
Guppies, frogs, and snakes!
Art Prescription: Snakes! Yikes, but some people love seeing them. They are nature’s creations too. As we head into warmer weather, the bog awakens, and the water is teaming with life. Remember when you looked at bog water under a microscope? Spirogyra…Be curious.
Wildflower Hike April 20, 2014
Rue anemones
Keep violets company
By the rolling creek.
Art Prescription: Sam and I found a new place to hike today. A wooded trail by a creek with wildflowers everywhere. Really magical. We meandered through pine and hard-wood forests and across open meadows.
Owl April 6, 2014
Silent on a branch
Big brown eyes full of wisdom
Fine feathered owl.
Art Prescription: Today would have been my grandmother, Annie Jones’ birthday. Spending time with this owl was like a gift…guardian owl! Sketch in journal.
Quiet Woods March 18, 2014
My steps and tree frogs
Miniature waterfalls
Only sounds in woods.
Art Prescription: It is too quiet in the woods for a March day. After another wintry weather day, the creek is full and there is a steady drip-drop off the trees. Wet, cold, misty…why would anyone be out bird-watching!! I scan the trees for owls!! Saw a hawk and a cute little Kinglet.

Where all is quiet
Trees rest in the setting sun
A walk in the woods.
Art Prescription: After two hectic days at my RN job, I came home to take a walk in the woods. The stress of the day evaporates into the sky and I breathe in cool, fresh air.
Great Horned Owl February 22, 2014
A shape in the trees
Late eve walk, sun sets low east
Spot a Great Horned Owl.
Art Prescription: What a treat to see a Great Horned Owl! Quick 3 x 5 index card sketch.
Natural Decor November 7, 2013
Aspens decorate
For the season, as leaves fall
Onto boughs of pine.
Art Prescription: From one of my Santa Fe hikes.
Santa Fe Sunset November 2, 2013
Purple mountain range
Bright waves of pink and orange
Follow the sunset.
Above it all, November 1, 2013
Miles above city
Hazy blue mountains, snow caps
Where coyotes howl!
