Creeks covered with ice
Squirrels scurry with leaves up tree
To pad winter nest.
Art Prescription: It’s cold. Fun to watch squirrels gathering leaves in their mouths and darting up trees to pad their nest. Suppose that’s what we are all doing this time of year…
On the forest ridge
In a mass of winter browns
Yellow daffodils!
Art Prescription: Walking in the woods this time of year, the changes happen in days. Seemed these daffodils appeared like magic!
Mint julep lichens
Decorate winter tree barks
Brightness among browns!
Art Prescription: On grey, rainy, winter days the greens of lichens growing on trees seems to grab my attention. Sketchbook –
A wave of blackbirds
Move as one mass over trees
Wings vibrate the air!
Art Prescription: Instead of the mall, my love and I walked almost 6 miles in the woods today, which seemed to be brimming with activity…snow coming? As we walked our familiar path a flock of black-birds came up across the trees with an amazing presence. The sound of thousands of birds chirping, and the thunder-like vibration of their one for all flight, shook the woods. I stood in the brown, grassy meadow in complete awe, and wholly grateful for this serene moment.
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.
