With whitish-pink Spring Beauties
Violets dress path.

Haiku March 20, 2013 Huntress Owl
A night-time huntress.
A riot of wildflowers.
The owl glides silent.
Art Prescription: The magical unexpected sighting of an owl on my morning walk stayed with me all day. Usually nocturnal, this time of year owls are doing a bit of extra hunting for their brood. Owls have long been thought of as a symbol for wisdom. The Native American practice of Animal Medicine says Owl may be asking you to go deep within and know your own truths.
Haiku March 19, 2013 Wildflowers
Inches from the ground
Spring ephemerals flower
Some think they are weeds.
Art Prescription: There is no such thing as a weed! Until man started trying to have lawns…

Below the surface
Spring networks, organizes
New cotyledons!
Art Prescriptions: A cotyledon is the first leaves of a seedling…first up for many spring wildflowers. While working on a multi-layered painting, I did a pen and ink doodle and colored it in.
Haiku November 25, 2012 Leaf Quilt
Beneath the leaf quilt
Wildflowers wait patiently
While winter performs!
Art Prescription: Even though the woods seem very quiet now, how nice, there is always a lot going on underneath the surface. Don’t let the cold keep you indoors. Put on a scarf, big coat, and mittens, and go out into nature! A red cardinal sitting on a winter branch is stunning!

Satin Trout Lily’s
Nod their dainty heads up out
Of winter’s brown dirt.
Art Prescription: Went on a long walk today, even though chilly and windy, over to the botanical gardens. One of the first ephemeral wildflowers to bloom are the Trout Lily’s. They are so cheerful and quiet, but bold. They come up and shine when winter winds are still chilling. Rise up…be bold!
