Three Image Merge (Sedona, Arizona) — Panorama by kenne
Deserts Come and Deserts Go
Is it a desert, only time will tell,
a landscape between heaven and hell.
Every ten thousand years or so,
the ice will come, the ice then will go.
In one place the ocean throws water across the land,
another place flowers beyond numbers to count grow.
In time, only a desert will tell,
the span between heaven and hell.

Cathedral Rock in the Santa Catalina Mountains
Cathedral Rock in the Sedona Verde Valley
In a Magritte sky
clouds formed
from the smoke
of a stemmed pipe
one sunkissed on
Catalina peaks
the other an
Upflow Vortex
each a cathedral rock
named in history
remaining covered
invoking mystery
concealing nothing.

“We are surrounded by curtains.
We only perceive the world
behind a curtain of semblance.
At the same time,
an object needs to be covered
in order to be recognized at all.”
– René Magritte

Sedona Snapshots (April 22, 2018) by kenne
A week ago today we began a short trip that would take us to several places we have been before, the exception being Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation. Heading north on I-10, we took I-17 north to Flagstaff out of Pheinox with a little detour over to Sedona and the Oak Creek Canyon. After a brief stop in Sedona, we began the beautiful drive on the twisting Oak Creek Canyon 89A highway.
Our next stop was Flagstaff, just long enough to top off the gas tank, before heading on the Tuba City located in the Painted Desert on the Navajo Nation, where we planned to spend the night and check out the old Tuba City Trading Post.

New Age Technology (Women in Sedona Using a Drone to Take Selfies.)– Computer Art by kenne
At nature’s vortex
three women capture selfies —
irrational state?
The spiritual
and technology transcend —
tragicomedy.
In creative acts,
essence of being human,
we are what we are.

Joy and tour guide, Richie.
A Day in the West Jeep Tour (June 15, 2016) Images by kenne
During our recent brief stay in Sedona, Jill, James, Joy and I went on a two hour jeep tour behind Thunder Mountain. I used James as an excuse to finally get Joy out on a back-country jeep tour. Considering that Joy was still recovering from surgery, she did quite well.
The ride was a joy with Joy!

One of the Tlaquepaque Count Yards In The Late Afternoon, Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts in Sedona (June 14, 2016) — Image by kenne
So hear the tones of cedar flow,
Reminding us from place afar,
A gift of art from Navaho,
a sea of sound — a reservoir.
The breathy notes pushed from the wood
with airy tones in triple trill,
is calling us to brotherhood
that bathes the heart when all is still.
Listen as it calls the eagle,
the bear, the deer and buffalo,
brothers of the kingdoms regal,
sister spirits of long ago.
These ancient sounds from wooden voice,
in sentient wait below the bark,
now sing in beauty to rejoice —
returning song to Meadowlark.
— from The Diné by Rolland G. Smith

The Chapel at Tlaquepaque is located in the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village along the tree-lined Oak Creek. The chapel is designed after some Mexican haciendas that provided a private chapel for a visiting priests could offer mass and other services.
Five in the Afternoon
“A boy brought the white sheet
at five in the afternoon.
A frail of lime already prepared
at five in the afternoon.
The rest was death and death alone
at five in the afternoon.”
— Federico Garcia Lorca
