Honey Bee On Arizona Fleabane — Digital Art by kenne
my nature photos
masking layers of art filters
creating my art
digital painting
colors become transparent
blending together
i have become a
digital photo artist
uniting my hands
whatever my tools
technology empowers
the will and desire
i seek to be good
i seek to communicate
not to be perfect
i seek the duende
to find my kindred feelings
in all that i do

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.

Don’t call me a photo bomber
I was here before the bee flew
into the field of view.

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the
repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

Bee On Fairy Duster Wildflower (July 16, 2021) — Image by kenne
The draft of this posting was done in late July before we went on our August road trip.
However, many photos later, just today, I noticed this unpublished draft —
Better late than never.

“We are plants which—
whether we like to admit it to ouselves or not—
must with our roots rise out of the earth
in order to bloom in the ether and to bear fruit.”

You should always know
when you’re shifting gears
in life.
You should leave your era,
it should never leave you.

Bee On Whitestem Blazingstar Wildflower (Mt. Lemmon) — Image by kenne
These first days of summer are like the pail
of blueberries that we poured out together
into the iron sink in the basement —
a brightness unleashed and spilling over
with tiny bell-shaped flowers, the windows
opened and the shrubs overwhelming the house
like the memory of a forgotten country, Nature,
with its wandering migrations and changing borders,
its thickets, woodlands, bee-humming meadows . . .
— from Summer Surprised Us by Edward Hirsch

I Dream of A Quiet Man 1 comment
Fiddleneck Wildflowers — Photo-Artistry by kenne
I dream of a quiet man
who explains nothing and defends
nothing, but only knows
where the rarest wildflowers
are blooming, and who goes,
and finds that he is smiling
not by his own will.

breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit,
and resign yourself to the influences of each.”

A slight stirring in the breeze
Get it while you can.
