“Zen is less the study of doctrine than a set of tools for discovering what can be known when the world is looked at with open eyes.”
Jane Hirshfield, The Heart of Haiku
I was surprised to see the dusting of snow and fog this morning. So I took the long-cut to the coffee shop via Stuart Street to visit the cottonwood tree at the Fisher Nature Area Trail. If you look closely you will see a red tailed hawk in the top of the cottonwood. Fog has burned off as blue sky and sunshine make their appearance. Have a wonderful Saturday and look with open eyes!

I read your words first, but even without the hint I don’t think I could have overlooked the hawk. Beautiful scene, very tranquil. But…cold!

Yes, it was cold and never really warmed up as the wind blew most of the day. I love this scene and have several images in all seasons. The hawk was a perk this morning.

Beautiful tree with a coat of winter. Enjoy those blue skies!
