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.
Color salts wood line
Tender young leaves shoot outward
Willows weeping green.
Art Prescription: A picture a day would capture the steady push of spring via leaves. Winter tree shapes now have a halo of green surrounding them. Renewal!
March lion spits ice
Daffodils hang their heads low
With disappointment.
Art Prescription: Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…
Crepe Myrtle stretches
Branches heavy with dense blooms
August ornaments!
Art Prescription: Have you ever looked really close at Crepe Myrtle blooms? They are delicate and complex…I should do a 10 x!!
Yoga on the porch
Stretch while leaves rustle in wind
Sun salutations!
Art Prescription: I enjoy doing yoga on our back deck!
Pure tropical gold
Fresh pineapple, sweet, tangy
Melts in your mouth good!
Art Prescription: Every time I buy and cut a fresh pineapple I am amazed at this luscious fruit. Fresh fruits and vegetables are perfect art studies that you can then EAT!
Momma Mockingbird
Hunts, swoops, digs, catches fresh chow
Fledglings shrill in bush!
Art Prescription: The amount of fledgling raucous going on right now points to the constant job of parenting. I recognize the shrill cries of different species waiting in hiding for their next treat. Until they know how to forage on their own, baby birds are nurtured along by both parents.
Buzzy things with wings
Fill the air showing off their
Aerodynamics!
Art Prescription: As the weather warms there’s a lot more action in the air. Birds, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies! Here in North Carolina we have several different species of dragonflies…it’s fun to try and identify them. And oh yea, there’s the damselfly too!
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!
