Thurber cinquefoil Wildflower — Images by kenne
For the last four years I have photographed this beautiful wildflower alone Mt. Lemmon trails.
Since it’s not all that common, finding it is a wildflower treat.

Bee & Mesquite Beetle on a Prickly Pear Blossom — Image by kenne
I would not sacrifice a single living mesquite tree for
any book ever written. One square mile of living desert is
worth a hundred “great books” — and one brave deed
is worth a thousand.

Whispering colors in
parallel
across the mountains,
listen and
you will hear
night approaching
pulling down
nature’s shade
over the shy
as the mountains
begin to glow
in a dark blue
against
the evening sky.

Notes On A Sedona Morning
After mornings of hiking,
sitting on the big rock summit–
sun in my face, I find myself
drinking coffee on the
Wildflower Bread Company patio
surrounded by red rock towers,
ants at my feet and
young women taking selfies.
I like solitude, but
sometimes it’s nice
to be alone in the
middle of humanity —
a prisoner of my condition.
Sorry, no pictures of food.
My cup of coffee
not worth posting.
Maybe the plus-size women
eating big puffy bread
potato-egg sandwiches
wouldn’t mind if I take a picture of
their breakfast, but
I’m not going to ask –
something tells me
they weren’t up at 5:00am hiking.
The conversation turned to
what to eat for lunch . . .

To communicate with earth,
converse with spirits,
to report the vortex,
link with the omens of time,
and recurrent images —
a moment in and out of time.

Morning Meditation — Computer Art by kenne
“Give me silence, water, hope . . .”
— Pablo Neruda
######
I don’t believe in age.
All old people
carry
in their eyes,
a child,
and children,
at times
observe us with the
eyes of wise ancients.
Shall we measure
life
in meters or kilometers
or months?
How far since you were born?
How long
must you wander
until
like all men
instead of walking on its surface
we rest below the earth?
— from Ode to Age by Pablo Neruda

Red Rock Country Panorama — My Actual Prove 1 comment
Red Rock Country Panorama (June 15, 2015) — Image by kenne
This panorama was taken at the base of Cathedral Rock looking east at incredible formations containing over 300 million years of geological history.
If you have the slightest addiction to photography, it’s easy to overdose in the Sedona/Oak Creek area of the Coconino National Forest — I did!
I just returned from several days in one of the most spiritual places on earth, a place I can contemplate nature and be in communication with other living things — try it, you will like and the force will help you learn to love it.
My actual prove,
Red is the color of earth —
So, what’s not to love!

A nice misty hike

If a picture
of a bee on a blossom
is the same as any picture
of a bee on a blossom,
then you are missing out
on how physical and emotional
conditions change each picture
bringing poetry to the
captured moment.
