The Tacana people live along the Beni River in the Madidi National Park, Amazon.
The Tuichi River joins the Beni River upstream from the town Rurrenabaque.

Little Colorado River (June 2021) — HDR Image by kenne
Last June, some of us got out of Tucson’s heat and spent a few days in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona.
My good friend, Tom Markey, and his wife Pat were with us. We spent time walking and fishing in the Fort Apache Indian Reservation.
Late in 2021, Tom was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Last week he received his first chemo session, to which
he had an adverse reaction, but doing better now. The tumor in his arm has already reduced in size.
So we are already talking about going back up to the mountain stream pictured above — We will return!

Bass Boat Blues
me and my bass boat
all alone on the bayou
moments to live by.
in bayou country
there are no mountains to climb
just tiny ant hills.
the fish are biting
only they are not keepers
ask me if I care.
for people who know
it is the process that counts
no more, no less — Yes!
green covers side streams
turtles on the backs jump in
breaking up the green.
mercy, mercy me
it is time to be truthful
I don’t care to fish.
I am the guy
carrying a camera
walking the park trails.
it’s time with nature
my breakfast at Tiffany’s
in the great outdoors.
