The doves wait
in a tree near
the bird feeder
until I leave my
chair on the patio.

There’s a lot to notice
on the morning walks
in the spring. But what
strikes me in a special way
are all the flowers —
a reason to take my camera.

Thousands of tiny greenish-white flowers in a long, narrow cluster that grows

What is not to like
Red with a background of blue
With a dash of green.

Prickly pear cactus
Yellow, the color of spring
Lights up the desert.

Living In The Desert 3 comments
Blooming Over Night — Image by kenne
I’ve lived in the desert —
now many springs
surrounded by beauty
that comes and goes
utterly without regret
each season I capture
moments of immortal
medicine still provides
a sharp and solid mine.

The desert in the springtime
Many shades of red.

A male cardinal
Bright red in the morning sun
A year-round neighbor.
Not seen, but nearby
the muted colored female
Proceeds with caution.

Scooting on the ground
Occasionally standing
For a better view.

Taking a break on a leaf
So small and so blue.

Back from my morning walk
Time for coffee on the patio
And watching birds at the feeder.

Two More Cactus Blossoms — Image by kenne
Arizona Spring
The honeysuckle nectar is gathered with a buzz
Cactus flowers perform their sweet encore, just because
Sandals tip toe in short skirts, so busy are the eyes
Spilling ink are poets, minding minds of the wise
Love is in the air breezing through limbs and leaves
Newlyweds sniffing with mouths under dancing trees
Spring has sprung and love is singing everywhere
While country clocks crawl and standing still is Time Square

“I’m an observer of life. I like to watch people, and I like to watch cactus.
I like to talk to mountains and communicate with my friends in the other spheres and dimensions.”
