Tossed by the winds
Hold on tight.

There they were, just there
Yellow fireworks shooting off
In a field of green.

Alone in the dark
Peering out at a hiker
Going unnoticed.

Bear Canyon Trail — Photo-Artistry Leave a comment
Bear Canyon Trail — Photo-Artistry by kenne
I sometimes choose to think that man is a dream,
thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun
. . . belief? What do I believe in? I believe in sun. In
rock. In the dogma of the sun and the doctrine of the rock.
I believe in blood, fire, woman, rivers, eagles, storms,
drums, flutes, banjos and broom-tailed horses.

Age Finally Caught-Up With Fox 3 comments
There once was a feisty little dog
whose name was Fox.
He demanded 100 percent from
his human friend, Jill.
In the beginning of their relationship
he was able to get what he wanted,
he needed her and she needed him.
Fox was her baby and he knew it.
Over time Fox learned to tolerate
others as long as Jill was around,
remaining very jealous of her attention.
Then James came on the scene.
Like his human friends, over time
he got gray, hard of hearing and
and learning to live with vision lose.
Even so, Jill give him life till the end.
(Fox died May 11, 2019 at the age of 22.)

Hiking the Aspen Draw Loop 1 comment
The July 5th SCVN Friday Hikes began at the Sky Valley parking lot
where led guide Phil Bentley greeted everyone and covered the SCVN Safety Rules.
This was a six-mile loop connecting three trails, (Aspen Draw, Mt. Lemmon Trail,
and the Meadow Trail) with an elevation gain of 1,200 feet.
One of the interest points on this hike was the Lemmon Rock Lookout staffed by the Forest Service personnel.
The original tower was erected in 1928.
On this day we were able to get a tour of the Lookout
since Phil called ahead and talked to the Forest Ranger on duty at the Lookout this summer.
The Osborne Fire Finder.
View down into the Tucson Basin and the Santa Rita Mountains.
After the tour, we took a snack break before continuing the hike.
A little music from our leader.
Always a fun time hiking in the Santa Catalina Mountains. — Images by kenne
