Illimani As Seen from La Paz, Bolivia (08/18/19)– Image by kenne
The Legend of the Illimani and Mururata
The Legend of the Illimani and Mururata,
a story of mountains in which,
takes place in the middle of the Andes,
in a country divided by mountains,
Bolivia.
The Legend goes as follows,
long ago,
there were four lords watching over the Andes.
Huayna Potosi, Lord of stone
Illampu, Lord of light
Mururata, Lord of air
and lastly,
Illimani, lord of water.
They were ruled by the main god,
Viracocha,
who favored Illimani the most.
Mururata envied that Illimani was favored,
so much so,
that he started a brawl between him and Illimani,
that went on for years,
until Illimani had won.
As punishment to Mururata,
for causing too much trouble,
he was beheaded,
and his peak,
was left in the Andean plains.
If you look up,
La Paz, Bolivia,
you will come to find a beautiful mountain,
watching over the city,
that is Illimani.

I love photographing flowers,
except when it’s windy.
Photographing butterflies
can be frustrating —
they keep moving whether
or not, the wind is blowing.
Once I have the photograph
I can say things painting
in colors and layers
I can’t say with words.

Flag Over Sabino Canyon Visitor Center (11/07/11) — Photo-Artistry by kenne
I miss not being able to be out in Sabino Canyon, which will remain closed because of the Bighorn Fire till November 1st.
The Forest Service is keeping the Canyon closed to minimize dam and infrastructure damage due to flash flooding
during the monsoon season.
On Wednesday, August 5th, some Naturalists will be part of a Zoon meeting with Santa Catalina District Ranger, CJ Woodard.
He will give an update on the Sabino Canyon closure and be available for questions and answers.

One of the many bloggers I follow is “The Parlando Project – Where Music and Words Meet,” where Frank Hudson presents short audio pieces, from 2 to 10 minutes in length, combining music and spoken word in various ways.
On July 31st Frank posted “On the Grasshopper and Cricket.” Click here to read Frank’s story on what lead him to combine music with the Keats poem and listen to the audio.
On the Grasshopper and Cricket
The Poetry of earth is never dead:
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun,
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead;
That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the lead
In summer luxury,—he has never done
With his delights; for when tired out with fun
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.
The poetry of earth is ceasing never:
On a lone winter evening, when the frost
Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills
The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever,
And seems to one in drowsiness half lost,
The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills.
— John Keats

Gray Skies At Sunset — Image by kenne
Late yesterday a lot of haze moved in the Tucson basin probably as a result of the Apple Fire burning in the Cherry Valley area east of San Bernadino and south of Big Bear Lake in southern California. This is a sunset image from our patio.

O sun!
Why have you moved on?
A minute too early.
Water over the dam.
Umbrellas ready to fall.
Empty chairs in waiting.
