Sweet honeysuckle

Crow carries a piece of straw

Disappears in tree.

Art Prescription: Walking through my short path in the woods from the bus from work, the scent of honeysuckle filled my lungs. Ahhhh….I thought this is life! Then I heard a crow caw and saw her sitting tree-top beak filled with nesting material. I watched her as she circled around, to make sure no one saw her. Then she glided into a cedar tree and disappeared. Secret nest.  This could mimicked the way I feel after leaving a busy day at my nursing job. I return to my nest and disappear…happily.

Musky sharp bouquet

Cultivates the March landscape

Snow white fluffy tree.

Art Prescription: Walking soothes the nervous system, especially this time of year when there are new sensory experiences daily. Bradford Pears are blooming and although beautiful, they put off a sharp sent. Wisteria is soon to follow.  I’m sure the bees love it. Next time you are out look closely at tree and vine blossoms – do a contour sketch.
