Round, pale-yellow moon
Rises over winter trees
Sunset cast pink hue!
Art Prescription: Evening and morning light is phenomenal. Tonight’s moon began rotation as the sun set, casting a pink horizon behind a winter landscape.

Haiku November 25, 2012 Leaf Quilt
Beneath the leaf quilt
Wildflowers wait patiently
While winter performs!
Art Prescription: Even though the woods seem very quiet now, how nice, there is always a lot going on underneath the surface. Don’t let the cold keep you indoors. Put on a scarf, big coat, and mittens, and go out into nature! A red cardinal sitting on a winter branch is stunning!
Haiku November 23, 2012 All for One
A flock of wild geese
Turn direction at same time
One for all, all one!
Art Prescription: Researchers have long been fascinated by the flocking behavior of birds and fish. How in one sudden flash they all turn and move in unison. One theory is that of “collective thinking.” Or that there is some electromagnetic principal going on. Either way it’s a beautiful sight. Sit back and watch birds flying south for the winter. They turn and land in the trees as a group, creating interesting sound effects in the forest. What if all of mankind were to work together like this?
Haiku November 21, Acorn
Cutest little cap
A seed that holds a whole oak
The modest acorn.
Art Prescription: Big things come in little packages, like hope, joy, and giving thanks!!
Haiku November 20, 2012 Solitude
Alone, not lonely
Shear peacefulness, quiet bliss
Hear your own footsteps!
Art Prescription: Do you enjoy being alone? I do. Even more so when the world is whirling away at the speed of light. I love it so quiet that the only thing I hear are the squirrels chattering, the birds chirping, and the crunch of leaves under each step! and the swish of my paint brush!
Haiku November 19, 2012 Winter Trees
Bare winter branches
Cradle last seasons bird art
Perfect little nests!
Art Prescription: The last of the leaves have fallen leaving winter sculpture. Bare trees reach towards grey sky. The labor of spring love is revealed.
Haiku November 18, 2012 Moon Light
Sliver of a moon
Sneaks in and out behind clouds
Lights my way back home.
Art Prescription: Enough said!!
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.
Haiku November 14, 2012 Leaf Collage
Rich earth, woodsy smell
Steady shower of leaves fall
Ground collage takes shape.
Art Prescription: An early walk in the woods is good for the soul! Standing there watching morning sunlight stream in as leaves dance and sway to the ground is magical. I felt for a moment, oh no! what if this were not here! So quiet and peaceful there…like no other place.
Haiku November 13, 2012 Blue Birds!
A flicker of blue
Against golden hues of fall
He dips, catches bug!
Art Prescription: Saw a group of blue birds on my walk! They hop from branch to branch, occasionally diving to the ground for a treat. Brilliant jewel color!
