Aspen Colors On Mt. Lemmon — Photo-Artistry by kenne
On top of Mt. Lemmon
the setting sun casts shadows
honoring this priceless moment
concealed in the colors,
sunk deep in the flesh.

“So I ran, fearing not where I’d go
When a flower grows wild
It can always survive
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow.”

Upper Sabino Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains, as Seen from Blackett’s Ridge — Image by kenne
For ten years, I have hiked many trails
In these Santa Catalina Mountains.
Stopping from time to time to watch things
As nature goes about its many changes.
White clouds gather above canyons and peaks.
The blue sky makes a good quilt as
The Sabino Canyon trail goes on and on.

We were hiking on Blackett’s Ridge
When the view called me over
For a moment of meditation —
The existence of a beautiful view
Is to take time to stop.

Poppies are Popping In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
I dream of a quiet man
who explains nothing and defends
nothing, but only knows
where the rarest wildflowers
are blooming, and who goes,
and finds that he is smiling
not by his own will.

It’s mid-morning, and the snow we received here in Tanuri Ridge has melted.
Also, the clouds covering the Santa Catalina Mountains have moved on.

A morning walk in the desert
can be so invigorating
to the body
and the soul —
try it sometime.

Snow At Lower Elevations Of The Santa Catalina Mountains (February 26, 2023) — Images by kenne
We have had snow at higher elevations (Mt. Lemmon) for weeks till this morning, with clouds blocking and view of the mountains.
Slowly the clouds began to open, showing the temperatures had remained low enough for snow to accumulate. Our patio rain gauge
recorded 1/4″ of rain here in the foothills.

A view of the Tucson basin from near Windy Point Vista with thimble peak in the center-right. — Image by kenne
March by march I puzzled through ’em,
turning flanks and dodging shoulders,
hurried on in hope of water,
headed back for lack of grass;
till I camped above the tree-line —
drifted snow and naked boulders —
felt free air astir to windward —
knew I’d stumbled on the Pass.
— from The Explorer by Rudyard Kipling
