Out of the leaves come
Tiny sprouts, ephemerals
Violets galore.
These sweet lovelies are abundant in the woods.

Went to NC Botanical Garden trails to sketch!
Carolina wrens
Shoot, swoop into my garage
Blue birds are housing.
There is a lot going on right in my backyard! I love to sit out on my tiny stool and just take it all in.
Who were you before
The world made its fast imprint
On your soft young soul.
A Common Sneezeweed
Gets blamed for fall allergies
Fabulous yellow!!
A walk in the woods
Came upon a bank of white
White, fluffy, Snowdrops!
Art Prescription: What a delightful surprise to find!
White glow in meadow
Lilies among tall grasses
Wild Easter Lily.
Art Prescription: I’ve been seeing these beautiful lilies in the woods and meadows at Mason Farm. They are Atamasco Lily (Zephranthes atamasco) and they flourish in wetlands.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor with my chop that says “hope”
Gentle breeze ripples
Branches with fresh young leaves sway
Steady rolling waves.
Art Prescription: How peaceful to stand under a new canopy of leaves and experience the wind.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says “hope”
Crushed seeds are love charm
When rubbed on the hands of men
This nodding flower.
Art Prescription: So my garden is full of these beauties. Shall I try a spell?
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Tremble in their frame
Delicate ephemerals
Up from frozen ground.
Art Prescription: About now the banks of creeks are full of blooming Trout Lilies. I adore their delicate nodding heads.
