Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014

A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.

Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.

Born to Soar June 30, 2014

You were born with wings

Jump and spread them wide to soar

Catch current of life.

Art Prescription:  It is really all about the here and now. It takes mental homework to remind myself of this daily. Not to get caught up in the past or future. Might be time for some 3 x 5 notecards placed on my mirror.

Bull Frogs June 29, 2014

The pond at daybreak

Bull frogs play Marco Polo

Loudest croaker wins.

Art Prescription: Six a.m. dog walking for my neighbors has benefits. It’s nice and cool, the birds are waking up with song, and there’s a game going on at the pond. Here is Duffy after a hot late day walk.

After a Ride June 21, 2014

After morning ride

She gets a spray, cool water

Returns to the hay.

Art Prescription:  Rode Miss Lacey this morning. Went early to beat the heat. I love spraying her down with cool water, washing the saddle-marked sweat from her white body. She enjoys it too! I return her to the paddock where fresh hay awaits. A grazing horse…Zen.

Summer Dreaming June 19, 2014

Bougainvillea

A long walk on the hot sand

Sea glimmers turquoise.

Art Prescription:  I’m off from my nursing job, and dreaming of vacation. Long beach walks, sea gulls laughing, salty breeze, palm trees rattling in the wind, and sunsets over the sea.
