A tree uses what comes its way to nurture itself. By sinking its roots deeply into the earth, by accepting the rain that flows towards it, by reaching out to the sun, the tree perfects its character and becomes great. Absorb, absorb, absorb. That is the secret of the tree. - Deng Ming-Dao

A Cross Quarter Day
A cold day in Los Osos.

Two egrets stand in the chilly wind with necks contracted to keep warm. It doesn't really seem like Spring, much less the beginning of Summer in the old calendar. It feels like a California winter day and I am barely comfortable wearing a jacket with a wool lining.
Moro Rock is in the overcast distance.
However, cold as it is, I am having a very nice visit with my daughter and granddaughter.
