The Imperial Sand Dunes National Recreation Area west of Yuma, Arizona (July 26, 2023) — Image by kenne
The Imperial Sand Dunes, 20 miles west of Yuma, AZ, is one of the largest and most popular off-road vehicles
recreation areas in the United States, but not when the air temperature is 114 degrees as it was when we were driving
Interstate 8 back to Tucson yesterday.

Horses are the dolphins of the plains, the spirits of the wind;
yet we sit astride them for the sake of being well-groomed,
whereas they could have all the desire in the world to bolt,
but instead, they adjust their speed and grace, only to please us,
never to displease.

desert’s beauty
a multitude
of contrasts,
silky petals
thorny stems
buds focused
energy of will

belies timing
death by

Snow On The Mountain Leave a comment
A view of the Tucson basin from near Windy Point Vista with thimble peak in the center-right. — Image by kenne
March by march I puzzled through ’em,
turning flanks and dodging shoulders,
hurried on in hope of water,
headed back for lack of grass;
till I camped above the tree-line —
drifted snow and naked boulders —
felt free air astir to windward —
knew I’d stumbled on the Pass.
— from The Explorer by Rudyard Kipling

On a chilly desert morning
we walk into sun rising
over the Rincon Mountains
in Saguaro National Park East.

Always More Saguaros On The Sunny Side of A Hill ( November 8, 2022, in Sabino Canyon) — Image by kenne
Saguaros love sunlight, so the southern part of a ridge or hill will attract the growth of many saguaros.

The first month of the monsoon has not been good for Tanuri Ridge. It seems as if it has been raining
only somewhere else. For the month of July, we have received only about an inch.

“Alone in the silence, I understand for a moment the dread which many feel in the presence of primeval desert,
the unconscious fear which compels them to tame, alter or destroy what they cannot understand, to reduce the wild
and prehuman to human dimensions. Anything rather than confront directly the anti-human, that other world
which frightens not through danger or hostility but in something far worse – its implacable indifference.”
― Edward Abbey

Known for its colorful swirls of slickrock, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is a sherbet-colored dream world
filled with fantastical rock formations like The Wave, White Pockets, and Buckskin Gulch.
