Haiku November 17, 2012 Evening in the Woods

Owl calls out from woods

Eyes acclimate as light fades

Birds announce days end.

Art Prescription:  Sam and I went for a late afternoon, almost evening, walk at Mason Farm. Lots of activity as the temperature drops and the sun sets with a dramatic pink sky!! As squirrels scurry to their nests, birds take last call, and the nocturnal world begins to wake.

Warm scented March breeze

Dogwoods shimmer white in sun

Late day bird chorus.

Art Prescription:  My late afternoon walks may be my favorite part of my day. There is so much happening outside. It’s like nature is on fast-forward. Dogwood flowers dot the woods, and most people think the white “petals” are the flowers. Actually the white parts are the sepals, and the actual flowers are the tiny yellow parts in the middle. If you have dogwoods go look closely at a bloom.
