Marine Blue Butterflies — Image by kenne

The marine blue butterfly wears
its colors like a living watercolor,

drifting between gray and blue
as it dances through the air,

each turn of its wings
creating a new masterpiece of light.

The Dirt Floor Become A Canvas   Leave a comment

Image by kenne

Through weathered boards,
sunlight slips in thin ribbons,
laying shadows on the earth below.
The dirt floor becomes a canvas
where light and darkness sketch
their fleeting masterpiece.

Hummingbird On Nest   3 comments

Anna's Hummingbird On Nest -- Image by kenne

A branch, a nest, a bird.
Nothing more is needed.
Spider silk binds the walls,
lichen softens the edges.
The Anna's hummingbird rests there,
breathing with the rhythm of the desert morning.




She Asked To Hike In Sabino Canyon With Us   2 comments

A Desire to Hike In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne

She was visiting from Eastern Europe
and wanted to see the desert on foot.
Sabino Canyon unfolded before her step by step—
a landscape of stone, cactus, and sky—
while friendship bridged the miles between our worlds.


Desert Sentinel Atop A Desert Giant   Leave a comment

A desert sentinel atop a desert giant—
cactus wren and saguaro share the morning.
The artistic background softens the edges of the world,
leaving only the essentials: bird, cactus, sky, and w
onder.


	

Another Beautiful Sonoran Sunset   Leave a comment

The mountains darken, but above them
red, orange, and yellow gather
like old spirits around a fire,
warming the vast desert silence
one final time before night.

Saguaro Sunrise In the Canyon -- Image by kenne

Sabino Canyon at sunrise, stripped to monochrome—
the saguaro becomes an old witness,
arms raised through a hundred dawns,
telling the mountains
that silence is enough.


Broad-billed Hummingbird at Nectar Feeder   2 comments

Broad-billed Hummingbird at Nector Feeder -- Image by kenne

The feeder swings lightly in morning air.
A hummingbird hovers,
tiny engine of wings and hunger,
pausing just long enough
to remind me that beauty
rarely waits for permission
to be noticed.

The fence does not divide the land—
it simply stands there, patient,
while the red mountains behind it
keep their old counsel with the sky.
Wind moves through cedar and dust,
and even silence here
seems to have roots.

I’m 85   9 comments


I’m eighty-five—
though the number sits beside me
more than inside me.
Some mornings I rise feeling sixty,
still curious, still willing to wander.
At night I dream in the language of thirty,
doors still opening, roads still unnamed.
And sometimes—without apology—
seventeen returns, grinning.

Sonoran Spring Wildflowers   Leave a comment

Sonoran Spring Wildflowers — Image by kenne

Along the trail,
the desert wildflowers arrive quietly—
yellow, violet, white—
as if the desert, after months of restraint,
has decided to speak
in small bursts of color.
