On this 4th of July morning, I observed a Cooper’s Hawk bathing in our patio fountain.
Many birds drink from the fountain and occasionally will splash water on themselves.
However, this morning was the first time I witnessed a hawk bathing in the water.

Cactus Blossom –Photo-Artistry by kenne
Cactus Flower
Sun, glare, heat, sweat
Dry, hot, summer, parched
Thirst
Brightly colored blossoms excite, invite
Gems
Longing for a hug
Not emotionally available
Sage green so tall and free, yet not a tree
Blooming high towards the desert sky
Far out of reach, not open to being that close
Pining for snuggles
Spikes
Burning desire to reciprocate your grandeur, but you don’t answer
Thorns
Glorious beauty
Why why why not for me?
Someday
Will I ever be, your bee?

I wait for the moment
I’ll return to the trails
as I did for twelve years
beneath Tucson’s blue sky
in some world of youth
and springtime. Give me,
Powers of the Universe,
the springtime but
spare me the child.

Hedgehog Cactus (genus Echinocereus) Blossoms — Image by kenne
The hedgehog cactus earned its name because its short, spiny stems resemble hedgehogs.
The blossoms last for five days, opening in the morning and closing at night.
