Flimsy assembly
Pine needles, twigs, and grass stems
Weaves into a nest.
Art Prescription: So I’ve been worried about “my” Morning Dove nest. It seems so simple and not very well put together. Then I read that this is common, it’s just the way they build a nest. Nature knows best.
Index card with colored pencil and pen and ink:
Color salts wood line
Tender young leaves shoot outward
Willows weeping green.
Art Prescription: A picture a day would capture the steady push of spring via leaves. Winter tree shapes now have a halo of green surrounding them. Renewal!
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.
