Their movement is slow

Blending in with dead branches

Our presence ignored.

A Son’s Dreams (Kenne David Turner Fishing On A Lake Conroe Pier In The Early 1980s) — Image by kenne

It didn’t matter
that no fish
would be caught —
only he and I knew
there is nothing
on the end
of the line,
but he can dream,
can’t he?

Winter hangs on
in the cold air

We share the same space

Spring has brought us together

The old and the new.

Upper Sabino Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains, as Seen from Blackett’s Ridge — Image by kenne

For ten years, I have hiked many trails

In these Santa Catalina Mountains. 

Stopping from time to time to watch things

As nature goes about its many changes.

White clouds gather above canyons and peaks.

The blue sky makes a good quilt as 

The Sabino Canyon trail goes on and on.

Hiking Blackett’s Ridge — Image by kenne

We were hiking on Blackett’s Ridge

When the view called me over

For a moment of meditation —

The existence of a beautiful view

Is to take time to stop.

Sonoran Desert Wildflowers–ChatGPT — An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Image

I keep playing around with ChatGPT to create art, but I am still unsure what to think of this new tool.

As of now, it makes too many creative decisions for me.

Two days of gray skies

are not welcoming

when spring is near —

a rose can lift the soul.

In The Desert   Leave a comment

Arches National Park (06/12/14) — Image by kenne

In the Desert

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”

“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

Poppies Are Popping   Leave a comment

Poppies are Popping In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image 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.

— Wendell Berry
