Over the mountains
Lightning strikes.

Questions Without Answers Leave a comment
Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
It’s peaceful to sit on the patio,
to sit under the olive tree
gazing at the autumn setting sun.
The mountains rise up as shadows
move across the Catalinas
soon to fade as darkness sets in.
The weather is kinder this time of year.
Soon stars will light up the sky,
completing the change from day to night,
becoming background for a shooting star.
Many questions without answers.
Is it better to know?
Questions without answers
are better left unasked.

Sunset cloud whispers
A halo on the mountains
Of yellow and blue.

Caesalpinia pulcherrima is a species of flowering plant in the pea family Fabaceae, native to the tropics and subtropics of the Americas.
It could be native to the West Indies, but its exact origin is unknown due to widespread cultivation. Common names for this species include poinciana, peacock flower, red bird of paradise, Mexican bird of paradise, dwarf poinciana, pride of Barbados, flos pavonis,

Don’t Get A Stupid Driver Fine 4 comments
A Flash Flood From The Past (09/08/14) — Image by kenne
Where we live, flash floods
are common during late summer,
but not this summer of little rain.
We live off of River Road,
a two-lane desert road
with low-water crossings.
Driving in a monsoon storm
requires extra vigilance in a
state with a stupid driver law.

Smoke and Haze In the Catalina Foothills — Photo-Artistry by kenne
We must make the most of life’s ups and down
when downs seem to overwhelm
do everything to lift up life through images
revealing its most brilliants.

Rainbow Connection 2 comments
Rainbow In The Catalina Foothills — Image by kenne
I still believe that someday we’ll find the Rainbow Connection.
Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side
Rainbows are visions
They’re only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they’re wrong wait and see
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side
Rainbows are visions
They’re only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they’re wrong wait and see
Someday we’ll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see
Someday we’ll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
Have you been fast asleep
And have you heard voices,
I’ve heard them calling my name,
Is this the sweet sound that calls
The young sailors,
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that i’m supposed to be,
And have you heard voices,
I’ve heard them calling my name,
Is this the sweet sound that calls
The young sailors,
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that i’m supposed to be,
Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection…
The lovers, the dreamers and me
La lala la lala la la la lala la la la
The rainbow connection…
The lovers, the dreamers and me
La lala la lala la la la lala la la la

Dark In The Sunlight 1 comment
“Dark In The Sunlight” — Photo-Artistry by kenne
A late afternoon breeze
sunlight shines through
in the shadow
of the olive tree
telling me of the
dark in the sunlight
as the music plays
I watch you from afar
dancing on this spring day
the things I’ve held close
have moved on
as I circle
trying to get my being
out of the experience
into the movement of change
becoming dimly aware
of the moment —
whatever will be,
will be.

I Went To The Desert . . . Leave a comment
Catalina Foothills Sunset — Image by kenne
I went to the [desert] because I wished to live deliberately,
to front only the essential facts of life,
and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
— Henry David Thoreau

An open skylight
Equal parts broken sunlight
Is magical light.
Changes the rhythm
As colors move through the room
Giving soul to space.
