Early Morning Street Sence In Alamos, Sonora — HDR Image by kenne
Alamos, Sonora
7 a.m caught
the eye of
a lone dog
standing
at the door
patient
Mexican dog
not one to
chase bikes
laying against
the sidewalk.
only a few
high clouds
add contrast
against the
blue sky
behind me
a truck
rattles by
carts pushed
toward the
plaza
no one
sleeping
on benches
like in America.
some Mexicans
sitting on the
church steps
born destined
to work in the
cathedral of toil
looking old at 21
a woman leaves
morning mess
still believing in
the Guadalupe lady
painted on velvet —
I shell paint
a velvet Elvis.

Mi Pueblo Alamos — Computer Painting 4 comments
Mi Pueblo Alamos– Computer Painting by kenne
Swish, swish, swish it’s a steady beat
In the early morn when they sweep the streets
Roosters crow and burros bray
Welcoming you to another day
And the sound of music fills the air
Lifting the spirits of those who dare
To just enjoy being in this place
Where life moves at a slower pace
The days go by with not much worry
You can take life easy or be in a hurry
It’s your choice, it’s your wish
But I like it here just as it is!

The Morning is Bright — Computer Painting by kenne
The morning is bright,
listen to soft voices
full of light and gentle.
It is thoughtfulness
of eternal morning
full of secrets captive
in each heart and soul.
With the morning sun
our cares pass as
for a moment we
become more childlike
dripping memories
in the fountain of life.

Partying In Alamos, Sonora Leave a comment
One of our guides while in Alamos was Stephanie Meyer. Stephanie, a field trained biologist, excellent birder and interpreter of Mexico’s mestizo and indigenous culture hosted a gathering of local friends and our tour group at her home in Alamos.
To help make for a very festive cultural exchange atmosphere,
the Ronstadt Generations played with some of the Estudiantina de Alamos members. (See video below)
As usual, our hands-on guide and party host, Stephen Bernier
(President of South of the Border Tours — above center)
was doing his “Eveready” battery impersonation — he ass constantly on the move.
Good conversation and plenty to drink, of course.
Spephanie and her help made sure there was plenty of tasty food.

One afternoon while in Alamos we all met where Tucson’s Ronstadt Generations was staying to listen to a fabulous seventy-five year old harmonica player, Rafael Figueroa Ju. His appearance was a beautiful example of organized spontaneity.
