It must be time for another disruption in my life. Upheaval always occurs when I start to get a hold of my creative life. I had best make this a time for positive thoughts, not a mad scramble for my portable hole!

Yesterday I found photographs of this little hawk. It spent a week this summer trying to catch koi from the pond. I thought it looked like a pigeon hawk, but now looking closely it may be an immature sparrow hawk. Cute at any rate. He would swoop and try grab the koi; a miniature version of an eagle fishing for salmon.

A couple times a day I would dash out and poke around the rocks just to make sure I still had fish! I would find them wedged into the smallest of cracks! As much fun as we had watching I’m glad he didn’t catch one — these are special koi from my parents.
