D.C.: Water

 

water

it is spring, early spring here in NW Montana
though it still snows
the circles of earth grow larger around trees each day
snow in meadows turn to seasonal creeks
and lakes

snow at night
turns to rain in the day

water
feeds you and me
trees plants and bees
all life

water
cycles
and circles from air
into earth

even we
are a huge part water
 

i bow
namaste' to the presence
and spirit of water
 

recently

at night

i looked out my window

at the tall slender Engleman Spruce trees

lit by the moon

still standing with snow

and this painting came to me
then to be
 

this week

i have heard and seen our Great Gray owls

and once heard the singing of wolves

~

in early spring

so much water

in the form of snow, ice, rain, creek and lake

you can see more of my watery photos on my other blog:

Lovely Equinox to one and All ~

 

the ink drawing from the previous post

inspired this watercolor

in honor of Spring

on this first day of spring

half way between the shortest day of the year

and the longest day of the year

i woke to fresh snow!

(yes this is home sweet home)

one of my favorite spring

and summer 

breakfasts:

Fairy Food

1 serving:

1 cup homemade almond milk
honey or agave to taste
1T + 1t chia seeds
1T. dried fruit - cherries or whatever you like
1T. dry coconut
sprinkle of spice, your choice: cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, vanilla

place in jar with lid and shake

a few minutes later shake well again

place in refrigerator over night

(if you don't shake it well, you will get lumps of gooey chia

seeds. Fairies would never eat that!)

Nearing Spring Equinox

I came across a photo someone took of me

at Hearst Castle

this is such a fun dress to wear

usually i make up the characters in my art

not even looking at photos

it was so much easier drawing from this photo

 Sweet Week to you!

Spring Equinox is nearing

DC : Connections

i enjoyed letting the word: connections

roll around in my mind this week

seeing it in the world around and within me

considering how the sun connects all life

the growth of flowers, trees, you and me

these are aspen trees

or i could say: Tree

they are connected by roots

and they are one tree

some consider a family

Aspens in summer, in Montana

painting inspired by sketch:

 

you would have to look close

to see all the fairy folk

~

I had a hard time trying to photograph the watercolor at the top to show the true colors

oh well, close enough

Thank you Kristen

for inspiring a week full of

 connections!

D.C.: Hair

she wears her hair up under her cap

but those trickster trees

always set it free

 ~

i have been wanting to create this for years

trees do this to me regularly

;-)

has a tree ever snatched your hat?
