Just sit and listen
And you will hear the world move
Forward with spirit.

nature journaling
Flirt January 16, 2017
A low-pitched warble
A shy male bluebird begins
An early courtship.
Art Prescription: The birds know spring is around the corner. Bluebirds often begin their house hunting as early as January.

Nature Journal: Birds October 29, 2016
Number two pencil
A notebook ready to fill
With observation.
Art Prescription: Thank you Jane, https://www.facebook.com/jane.eckenrode, for a lovely class today at the North Carolina Botanical Garden on keeping a nature journal. My regular blog readers know I’m a total bird geek, and learning how to observe and draw birds in their natural habitat is a skill I aspire to.
I’m excited to go out into the field, or to my back-yard feeder, and practice.

Haiku May 11, 2013 Quenching Rain
Steady spring rain fall
Bull frog croaks, birds swoop for worms
Nature’s thirst quencher!
Haiku February 23, 2013 Hummingbirds
Small and lite they glide
Through the air on wings as small
As acorns, hummers!
Art Prescription: I went to a nature journaling workshop today and one of the exercises was to write about hummingbirds. Fun to learn some new techniques for nature journaling.
Haiku February 6, 2013 Daffodils
On the forest ridge
In a mass of winter browns
Yellow daffodils!
Art Prescription: Walking in the woods this time of year, the changes happen in days. Seemed these daffodils appeared like magic!
