Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Silent on a branch
Big brown eyes full of wisdom
Fine feathered owl.
Art Prescription: Today would have been my grandmother, Annie Jones’ birthday. Spending time with this owl was like a gift…guardian owl! Sketch in journal.
A shape in the trees
Late eve walk, sun sets low east
Spot a Great Horned Owl.
Art Prescription: What a treat to see a Great Horned Owl! Quick 3 x 5 index card sketch.
Silent swoop above
She navigates with sheer stealth
Wise creature, the owl.
Art Prescription: Are you in tune with your environment? Do you pause to notice all that is grandeur around you? Did you miss the flight of the owl? Life is a fleeting moment…be in the moment.
Wind rolls through the trees
Branches wave about with grace
Leaves whisper and stir.
Art Prescription: Spent much of my day at Mason Farm Biological Preserve! Heard “my” owls, but they were hiding. The beautiful lush green trees are like emeralds in the sky.
Light spring breeze rustles
New greenery waves, frolics
Columbine blooms nod.
Art Prescription: “My” owl has an owlet…so much to tell!! For now my Columbine blooms pretty!!
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!
Twilight, forest wakes
Frogs rib-it, birds lullabye
Owls begin to prowl.
Art Prescription: Watching the sun go down and listening to the night-time creatures awaken is musical!
The woods are salted
With whitish-pink Spring Beauties
Violets dress path.
Art Prescription: Active day at Mason Farm!! Lots of wildlife, including finding an owl nested in a hole in a tree!!
A night-time huntress.
A riot of wildflowers.
The owl glides silent.
Art Prescription: The magical unexpected sighting of an owl on my morning walk stayed with me all day. Usually nocturnal, this time of year owls are doing a bit of extra hunting for their brood. Owls have long been thought of as a symbol for wisdom. The Native American practice of Animal Medicine says Owl may be asking you to go deep within and know your own truths.
