Gerber daisy wow!

A sea of velvet petals

In every hue.

Art Prescription:  Any garden shop is a canvas for a floral artist. Nature makes colors we mortals attempt to match. It would be a fun challenge to mix and match each color of this photo. So many shades of pink, red, and yellow…a good learning exercise.

Near Hawk Visit February 17, 2014

Through binoculars

I sight movement in the trees

Hawk at my shoulder!!

Art Prescription:  Today’s haiku is momentarily interrupted for a near hawk encounter. I was writing about Mourning Doves…when through my binoculars I caught a glimpse of something in the trees. I searched, but no find. Turned to walk and right there!!! over my left shoulder sat a big hawk. He/she looked at me and I startled…I mean really jumped it was that close! Then I just got quiet and watched. I wondered why this winged beauty was braving my presence. The hawk took off then to join a mate…
