Flying Free

These fabulous photos taken by my friend, Edna Arlt Breese, of a red-tail hawk in flight, make me feel like I'm flying free, soaring in the wind with this elegant bird, and inspire me as a writer to let go, allow my imagination to kindle words onto paper like the hawk's wings allow him to take to the air.  
I wish everyone a happy, healthy new year, and no matter how lofty they seem,
may you achieve your
dreams in 2012.
