A cloudy morning
Sun’s low angle finds a way
Breaking through the clouds.

Sulphur Butterfly and Yardflowers Mixed Art (September 2012) — by kenne
Understand the relationship
Between a butterfly and a flower.
Understand the relationship
Between food and hunger,
Between drink and thirst.
But dear sir, let not the heart
Go loose without restraint.
Go apart from all and stay.

Gambel’s Quail Smage Chalk Art by kenne
The piercing cries
of the Gambel’s quail
call the small flock together
after they scurry one by one
across the sandy wash.

Greater Roadrunner On A Patio Morning — Images by kenne
This time of the year in the desert is so pleasant. The mornings are cooler, so after a walk, I like to watch and listen
to the many birds coming to our feeders and water at the fountain. Occasionally, a Greater Roadrunner appears on top
of the patio wall on their way to get water at the fountain. I happened to be sitting there with my camera and got a few pictures.

A beautiful desert bird a close relative of the cardinal, which the less observant person
may mistake for a female cardinal, is the pyrrhuloxia (pir-ah-LOX-see-ah).

Woodpeckers have long tongues and can hang from the feeder containing the nectar, making it easy for them to raid the feeder.
