Southern Arizona trails are very busy this time of year and unfortunately keeping search and rescue crews busy. Those of us who are frequently hiking the Santa Catalina Mountains are aware of some of its dangers. However, many of our winter visitors are not prepare for the rough terrain. This past Sunday the DPS copter crew had six rope rescues in the Catalinas, a one-day record.

Tomorrow, Nick and mom Kate return with Jaxon, grandson number two who will be five in May. Matt will be taking care of things back in Ft. Collins. Last time we saw the boys was two years ago in Ft. Collins. We are looking forward to a great week in the desert.

Western Window On The Pass Leave a comment
Western Window On the Pass — Image by kenne
The wind moves unnoticed through the window
like the memory of forgotten times
punctuated by years of drought
where water no longer moves
atop the creek beds, and cattle no longer roam,
each not sustainable in the basin
below the Peloncillo Mountains
where desert bushes and cactus
have replaced the grasslands
near Doubtful Pass trail once used by
the Butterfield Overland Stagecoach Company.

Broken
by the storm
blowed against
a bolder wall
aged by the sun
now gray and white —
old and broken
but still alive.

The sparrows are preparing for winter,
each one dressed in a plain brown coat
and singing a cheerful song.

The Light
is no more outside the window, or
on the walls. All that was dissolves.
I watch the lights of evening
flicker across the way
as moths flutter near the
lights of limited space
in an unlimited world
brushing up against the darkness.

“Blossom of Colors” — Computer Art by kenne
What is art?
What is life?
What is time?
I know, but
when you ask me
I don’t.
To define
is to fix
in place,
nothing
in real life
is fixed.

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.

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!

The Rocks
of these mountains
are no match against
the mighty river.
Weary of its motion
they open to
potent penetration.
