A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period –
When March is scarcely here

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels…

I have the most beautiful Morning Glory vine growing by my house.
Every year I imagine among all the many blooms and buzzing bees around it there is also faerie folk in their midst! 🐝🧚‍♀️ 🍃
So, this year I thought I would paint it. 🎨

A favourite Quebec tall tale for
Legendary hunter Dalbec was in the woods one spring making maple sugar when a bear came by. Dalbec hid inside an empty barrel and, at the right moment, grabbed its tail. It ran off, carrying Dalbec and the barrel with it.
