Cooper’s Hawk Visits Our Patio Fountain (July 10, 2016) — Image by kenne
This hawk was attracted by the doves below the bird feeder on the patio.
With a temperature of 103 degrees, might as well take a water break.

Desert Spiny Lizard — Image by kenne
It’s hard not to think of lizards when one thinks of the hot desert days of summer.
Most lizards like the heat, but not to much.
An article in the Smithsonian Magazine notes,
“Scientists worry that a warming climate may be especially dangerous for lizards,
which aren’t able to regulate their own temperatures.”
Scientists are making use mitochondrial DNA to map out a species’ genetic diversity
to learn how animals might best adapt to global warming, if at all.
Lizards “may need to become nocturnal if they want to survive.”
Still, I’m always amazed to see a Zebra-tailed lizard moving across a neighbor street (black-top)
in the bright sun knowing that the air temperature is already in the triple digits
— go figure!

The People and Their Canyon — Images by kenne
For some the canyon
the people’s national park
to be shared with all.
For some the canyon
should have limited access
preserving nature.
For some the canyon
can be both shared and preserved
through naturalism.

Grand Canyon Blue Bird (June 14, 2016) — Image by kenne
Oh, blue bird, blue bird
High above the canyon floor
Looking gray and blue
Perching on a limb
Less blue against the blue sky
Doubtless a female.

Mi Pueblo Alamos– Computer Painting by kenne
Swish, swish, swish it’s a steady beat
In the early morn when they sweep the streets
Roosters crow and burros bray
Welcoming you to another day
And the sound of music fills the air
Lifting the spirits of those who dare
To just enjoy being in this place
Where life moves at a slower pace
The days go by with not much worry
You can take life easy or be in a hurry
It’s your choice, it’s your wish
But I like it here just as it is!
— from “Mi Pueblo Alamos” by Lynda Baronde

Old Abandoned House (Alamos, Sonora, January 28, 2016) — Image by kenne
this old house
has a story to tell
of joy and pain
of the family
it provided a home
shelter from the
winter cold
and summer storms
now abandoned
no longer a home just
a house made of stone
and rotten wood

Greater Roadrunner in the Brush — Image by kenne
Been seeing a lot of these guys lately. With much cooler days some of the greater roadrunner’s food,
like tarantulas, scorpions, and reptiles are underground. This one was all about business, hunting through the brush.
