Morning Zen

Morning Zen
(c) Jean Ballard 2013

For the past several days I have been on the mainland, spending time with family and friends.  I hardly took any photos, and those I did were rather ho-hum.  I wanted to capture fields of pumpkins with mist rising above them - but most of the time there was nothing but heavy fog and pollution, and the only pumpkin field I saw had nothing but broken pumpkin chunks on it, ready to be turned under with the next turn of the plow.

And then I came home.  Back to my island.  Back to a place where a walk in the morning, even in the fog, is a zen experience.  Simple.  Silent.  Serene.   The rest of this blog needs no words:
