Twenty-Five Years Of Muscle 2 comments
Pontiac Firebird (The first year model was 1967) — Images by kenne
You had your days of glory
Speeding down the streets
Cruising through the drive-ins
Parking outside the dives
Twenty-five years of muscle
In your all-American
Coke bottle styling
Perfect for attracting girls
Once fondly called
The Green Hornet
With sexy babes
Adorning your hood
Those were the happy days
Before becoming barnyard junk
In the north country woods
Hoping again for days of glory
No longer a bird of fire
Parked in your aging green skin
With only memories of
Those red lipstick days

Lemmon Rock Lookout As Seen From The Wilderness Rocks Trail Leave a comment
Last year on this date I posted images of the Lemmon Rock Lookout taken from the Wilderness Rocks Trail. This Friday I will be leading the annual SCVN hike on this trail. One of my favorite trails on Mount Lemmon. The hike takes the Marshall Gulch Trail up tp Marshall Saddle where we the follow the Wilderness Rocks Trail. There is a forecast for rain, which we badly need. — kenne

Saving The Season By Capturing The Moment 2 comments

Unlike “nature walks,” hikes usually don’t allow time to stop and capture the moment — unless one is willing to be left behind, unnerving the guides.
This summer the SCVN hikes on Mount Lemmon have been very dry, dusty experiences minus the color of the usual mountain wildflowers. So, when flowers are spotted, inducing trance-like states, as in the case of columbines in a mountain canyon where a small stream might normally exist, some of us cannot pass up the moment connecting nature with our being in the digital world.
July rains should bring on an ever-changing kaleidoscope of wildflowers. But, for now, we feel the call of the wild to save the season by capturing the moment in a time our culture and technology are becoming more complex, more intricate, and more challenging to control.
Nature is a sphere
Revealing cosmic patterns
In all the clitter

Hot Dry Temps Bring On The Sonoran Monsoon? 5 comments
View south over Tucson from the Box Camp trail (approximately 7,500′ in the low 80’s) in the Santa Catalina Mountains as triple digit temperatures show signs of pulling moisture from the south. Maybe the monsoon is on the way — let’s hope.

Capturing The Moment — Zero and One Leave a comment
“Still Life” — Image by kenne
zero and one
zero in nothing
nonentity
one is something
favored
zero is nothingness
it isn’t there
one is being
existence
zero gives meaning
imposing subjectivity
one gives consciousness
imposing objectivity
zero cannot be one
only know one
one cannot be zero
only know zero
zero and one together
shape the imagination
zero and one together
shape the world

Red sky at sunset
Clouds forming strings of light
Feathering into the night
As darkness covers the ground
Tracing the space of our connectiveness.
