Flame skimmer patrols the pond
Day begins in gold

Morning light settles
On the trail beside the fence
Pines breathe in the breeze

Hiking with Friends -- Image by kenne
Through the empty frame
Friends wander beneath blue skies
Past and present meet

The marine blue butterfly wears
its colors like a living watercolor,
drifting between gray and blue
as it dances through the air,
each turn of its wings
creating a new masterpiece of light.

The Outer Banks -- Photo-artistry by kenne
Salt air, sand, and wind -
the OuterBanks keep their song,
old as the moon's pull.

The mountains stand ancient and unmoving
while the turbine blades
spin endlessly in the West Texas breeze.
This photo-artistry composition
celebrates the contrast between
permanence and motion,
stone and sky,
past and future.

Through weathered boards,
sunlight slips in thin ribbons,
laying shadows on the earth below.
The dirt floor becomes a canvas
where light and darkness sketch
their fleeting masterpiece.

Anna's Hummingbird On Nest -- Image by kenne
A branch, a nest, a bird.
Nothing more is needed.
Spider silk binds the walls,
lichen softens the edges.
The Anna's hummingbird rests there,
breathing with the rhythm of the desert morning.

Night loosens its grip.
A thin blade of light
slides along the Rincons,
touching rock,
touching thorn.
The saguaros stand silent,
holding the cold
of a thousand dawns.
Above them,
the dark sky remembers blue.

A Desire to Hike In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
She was visiting from Eastern Europe
and wanted to see the desert on foot.
Sabino Canyon unfolded before her step by step—
a landscape of stone, cactus, and sky—
while friendship bridged the miles between our worlds.

A desert sentinel atop a desert giant—
cactus wren and saguaro share the morning.
The artistic background softens the edges of the world,
leaving only the essentials: bird, cactus, sky, and wonder.

Sonoran Sunset -- Image by kenne
The mountains darken, but above them
red, orange, and yellow gather
like old spirits around a fire,
warming the vast desert silence
one final time before night.

Saguaro Sunrise In the Canyon -- Image by kenne
Sabino Canyon at sunrise, stripped to monochrome—
the saguaro becomes an old witness,
arms raised through a hundred dawns,
telling the mountains
that silence is enough.
