Cypress Hemp

I call it “Echo-system” 🔊🦇🖼️🖌️

Virginia is home to these incredible bottomland hardwood forests/river swamps where the state endangered, Rafinesque’s big-eared bat likes to roost in hollow bald cypress trees🌲 It spend its nights eating moths and insects that help keep their ecosystem in balance. 🦋⚖️

It’s a tiny bat, weighing less than an ounce, with ears almost a third of its body length… WOW! 👂

The primary threats to the species are habitat-focused, as these forests are cleared or degraded, due to urban expansion and agricultural conversion.

I was stoked to learn that my art piece, “Echo-system” was selected to be part of the silent auction that held to support habitat restoration for these bats.

My art will be on display at through the month of March if you’d like to take a look 👀🦇🌲

🌼YOUR reality is shaped by YOUR perception. 🌼

Perspective is EVERYTHING. Living in such a fast-paced world, we must remember to slow down, be intentional, and notice the little, beautiful details that often pass us by, like this gorgeous field of flowers on the the side of a Texas highway, that I’d normally just drive by without appreciating its deep beauty.

Changing your internal view of the world is powerfully enough to SEE your external situations differently.✨

Be sure to take a moment today to observe your environment and your thoughts and learn to SEE the world with new eyes. You are more powerful than you know. 🧠 ❤️🌼

I love you and happy Sunday. 😘
