In the Sonoran Desert
And there, unassuming,
Later, their seeds cling tight,

Bee hovers, sunlit,
above saguaro’s white crown—
sky endless, serene.

Clustered like red seeds,
they gather on stem and leaf—
a quiet feast begins.
Aphids scatter slow,
unaware of what has come
with speckled hunger.
No words, no warning—
just patient, shared purpose
under the sunlight.
The mountain watches,
as tiny jaws work in peace—
beauty with a bite.

Desert Stillness
On mahogany milkweed stems,
where desert hushes sunlit gems,
a fritillary folds her wings—
orange fire with softened rings.
She does not rush, the bloom holds still,
Two hearts at peace on granite hill.
The air is warm, the shadows small,
no need to rise, no fear to fall.
Bright as flame, yet calm as stone,
she rests, yet claims the day her own.
In that brief hush, the wild agrees—
grace is quiet among the leaves.

Through the lens, the cactus leans—
a silhouette in fractured beams,
where golden hour softly spills
on dust-worn hills and silent stills.
Shadows stretch like painted lines,
drawn in ochre, sage, and spine.
Each thorn, a brushstroke held in place
by desert light and endless space.
A vulture glides, its wings mid-frame,
a single shot, a wordless flame.
A saguaro lifts its arms in prayer—
ghosts of heat still hanging there.
Not just a picture, more a spell:
where time and color softly dwell,
and all the desert dares to be
is caught in quiet artistry.

Primitive road winds,
etched through saguaros stillness—
cholla shadows stretch.

Saguaro stands tall—
century carved in stillness,

Trail bends past old roots,

“Sonoran Spring”
The desert blooms in whispered gold,
Where cacti wear their crowns so bold.
Ocotillo flames in red delight,
And poppies spark the morning light.
The saguaros lift their arms in praise,
To sun-soft winds and lengthened days.
A hummingbird, a buzzing thread,
Weaves springtime through the riverbed.
Where once was dust, now color clings—
In Sonoran spring, the silence sings.

I’ve been down this trail
With or without wildflowers
Certain trails stand out.

More subtle autumn colors
Fade with the sunset.
