…blooms the love of nature!
Or between the grass and the soil the "robin" finds his hearty meal ticket.
Its diet consists of invertebrates, such as grubs, caterpillars and grasshoppers.
Then fruits and berries during the cold months.

I am using my weekly post of a “BOTANICA”
for this weeks topic of Illustration Friday which is “SEED“
I had been working on a new image “for seed”,
but it got so complex and convoluted that it started to choke!
Creativity can not be rushed nor forced, it needs to evolve…
it is sacred and…
I need a breath of fresh air…

Upon pausing and observing the resilience and beauty
of a simple branch or of a delicate flower
nature shows us how compliant, obsequious and lithe it is.
Most branches bend readily without breaking,
nor do they become deformed or ugly.
Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. Jane Wells

Nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend.
Earlier this week we honored “EARTH DAY”,
as “today“ is the “last“ Friday in April this date was assigned as the official “ARBOR DAY.”
“A day to celebrate trees”
I feel that this piece holds both observances in a nutshell!

Arbor Day is an excellent date to “Plant a Tree!”
Now exposed are the "inner awakenings" of the young tender leaves.
A revival, pale and fresh that will gracefully mist over, ever so far.
As a green woven mantle it will clothe the bare and dormant branches,
draping them in cloaks of a flowing and leafy splendor.
Then further robing fields and gardens with abounding hues of "verdant growth."
