“No house should ever be on a hill or on anything.
It should be of the hill. Belonging to it.
Hill and house should live together with each the happier for the other.”

The Trail Is Dusty Leave a comment
West of Tucson — Panorama Image by kenne
The trail is dusty
Stirred only by our steps,
A soft breeze unable to lift
The dust above our boots
Often coming together as strangers
Sharing a love of the wild
And a desire to hear sounds
In nature’s best.
Nature walks are fine
Surrounded by experts
Who share their knowledge
Born with a feel for the moment
An eye for beauty and form
Nature speaking to the senses
Where nothing is perfect
And everything Is perfect.

Madidi National Park Sunset Leave a comment
Madidi National Park (Bolivia) Sunset Along The Beni River (9/19/19) — Image by kenne
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose,
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.
— from Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman

Nurturing Each Moment Revisited Leave a comment
Santa Catalina Foothhills — Panorama Image by kenne
Nurturing each Moment
Tucson,
nearby foothills
home of DeGrazia
darkness,
low moving clouds
moving over the mountains
music,
blues in the air
coming from the Boonduck’s
Kika,
cat on the guard
lying low in pursuit
crickets,
sing in the night
adding to the aura
heat up,
roast in the day
cooling with the darkness
whiskey,
cool on the rocks
soothing the solitude
cigar,
smoke in the air
mixing with the night wind
starlight,
brighten the sky
pushing back the soft clouds
rainstorms,
in the forecast
teasing the believers
late-night,
clock in a.m.
seeking the morning light
twitter,
of early birds
singing of existing truth
outfits,
Lycra on two wheels
biking to the mountains
crossroads,
Sonoran sun
hiking Mount Lemmon’s peak
pleasure,
mind in control
nurturing each moment

With its layered bands of red rock
Near the end of day.

Stormy Weather 3 comments
Stormy Weather Over The South Rim of The Santa Catilina Mountains — Panorama by kenne
A Thunderstorm
The wind begun to rock the grass
With threatening tunes and low, –
He flung a menace at the earth,
A menace at the sky.
The leaves unhooked themselves from trees
And started all abroad;
The dust did scoop itself like hands
And throw away the road.
The wagons quickened on the streets,
The thunder hurried slow;
The lightning showed a yellow beak,
And then a livid claw.
The birds put up the bars to nests,
The cattle fled to barns;
There came one drop of giant rain,
And then, as if the hands
That held the dams had parted hold,
The waters wrecked the sky,
But overlooked my father’s house,
Just quartering a tree.
— Emily Dickinson

Lower Sabino Canyon Panorama — On A Clear Day Leave a comment
View of Lower Sabino Canyon and the Tucson Basin from Phoneline Trail — Panorama by kenne
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you’ll see who you are.
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines ev’ry star.
You’ll feel part of ev’ry mountain sea and shore.
You can hear, from far and near,
A world you’ve never heard before.
And on a clear day…
On that clear day…
You can see forever and ever more!
— from On A Clear Day You Can See Forever by Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner

The Arizona Trail Runs Through Sycamore Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains — Panorama by kenne
“She was actually learning to love Arizona.
The beauty and color and solitude,
the vastness of it had called to something deep in her.
First, she had complained of the dust, the wind, the emptiness,
the absence of people. But she had forgotten these.”
— Zane Grey
