A painting of a snow covered trail through the woods. The pine trees are covered in snow.

“Snow Day”, gouache on paper, 8x10 inches. This painting was inspired by a hike in the woods that I took a few weeks ago. I wait for those days when the trees are frocked in snow.

A walk in the woods.

If I could live inside Autumn, I would live there until forever.

Spotlight On: Trees! Because the forest is always casually hanging out in the background - but sometimes it deserves to be the main event.

So I Met a Tree when nature helps you see the forest for one new tree. A photographic exploration of willow trees in the Maine forest, including Black Willow and Pussy Willow.

This week on Nature Moments - I met a tree! The forest lives a whole complex life beyond our notice. We will never know all its secrets, and so there will always be surprises waiting for us💚

A close-up of golden American Beech leaves against a snowy background.

Fun fact! In a process called marcescence, some trees like this American Beech hold onto their dead leaves all the way until spring! It's a nice, bright spot of gold in a winter forest.

He slept, dreamless, as I put on my most dazzling cloak, brightening my stars just for him. With a gentle exhale, I stirred the embers outside his lair, then rustled his nylon cocoon. Timid flames rose to nibble at half-eaten hardwood, coaxing him from his colorful den.

Check out North Woods at Night, a beautiful collection of poems, essays, and short stories featuring the #NorthWoods. Here’s the start of my spooky short story. Proceeds help conserve #forests!

So if gold and diamonds are your thing, all you really need to do is wait for a frosty forest morning…✨
