Haiku April 6, 2013 Mason Farm Trees

Cathedral of trees

Arches path, Purple Nettle

Covers ground. Bees buzz!

Art Prescription:  At Mason Farm,   “My” owl is still sitting in her stag (a “lively” dead tree).  She nests in her hole by the creek as the sun crosses during the day. At night she hunts. My imagination thinks this would be a cool start to a nature book….just so magical to see!

Haiku October 14, 2012 Walk at Mason Farm

Last fall flowers bloom

Seed pods stand over meadow

Release fancy wings.

Art Prescription:  We walked our favorite place, Mason Farm. Seems just a week or so ago the open meadows were filled with yellow Partridge Peas and pink wild roses. Now a few asters remain and interesting seed pods take the place of flowers. A sea of golden rod, yellow grasses and a hint of reds now stretches out against the wooded backdrop. We did see a pretty striped snake along the trail. Mason Farm is a beautiful nature preserve with a few different habitats. Lots of birds, owls, foxes, coyote, to name a few! A great place for a nature sketcher!
