Upper Sabino Canyon   Leave a comment

Upper Sabino Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains, as Seen from Blackett’s Ridge — Image by kenne

For ten years, I have hiked many trails

In these Santa Catalina Mountains. 

Stopping from time to time to watch things

As nature goes about its many changes.

White clouds gather above canyons and peaks.

The blue sky makes a good quilt as 

The Sabino Canyon trail goes on and on.

Hiking Blackett’s Ridge — Image by kenne

We were hiking on Blackett’s Ridge

When the view called me over

For a moment of meditation —

The existence of a beautiful view

Is to take time to stop.

Sonoran Desert Wildflowers–ChatGPT — An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Image

I keep playing around with ChatGPT to create art, but I am still unsure what to think of this new tool.

As of now, it makes too many creative decisions for me.

Mariposa

Butterflies are white and blue
In this field we wander through.
Suffer me to take your hand.
Death comes in a day or two.

All the things we ever knew
Will be ashes in that hour,
Mark the transient butterfly,
How he hangs upon the flower.

Suffer me to take your hand.
Suffer me to cherish you
Till the dawn is in the sky.
Whether I be false or true,
Death comes in a day or two.

— Edna St. Vincent Millay

Two days of gray skies

are not welcoming

when spring is near —

a rose can lift the soul.

Poppies are Popping In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne

I dream of a quiet man
who explains nothing and defends
nothing, but only knows
where the rarest wildflowers
are blooming, and who goes,
and finds that he is smiling
not by his own will.

— Wendell Berry

It’s mid-morning, and the snow we received here in Tanuri Ridge has melted.
Also, the clouds covering the Santa Catalina Mountains have moved on.
