He holds her steady

She carries eight months in front

Soon will be strolling!

Art Prescription:  Ah, the life cycle…went to the North Carolina Botanical Gardens today to sketch. This time of year the flowers are starting to go to seed, preparation for a new spring, new plants. The shapes and textures of pods are interesting. At some point I shall do a study of pods. For now the flowers are still in bloom, and the butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds are abundant…heaven.

Inch-worm ornaments

Hang by silk thread from spring trees

Geometer moths.

Art Prescription:  These little worms are hitch-hikers. Next thing you know you have an inch worm on your shoulder. Carefully remove them and place them on a nearby leaf. They are on a journey to become Geometer Moths. A huge family of moths, around 35,000 species, and their colors vary from flat greys to vibrant pinks.
