Vermillion Cliffs National Monument — Panorama by kenne
A Beautiful land under attack
Managed by people who don’t
Care for its natural beauty.
Steep eroded escarpments
Exposing hundreds of layers
Of richly colored rock strata.
A lost land filled with hoodoos,
Slot canyons, towering cliffs with
Undulating curves of sandstone.

Scopes and cameras
Black hawks on the horizon
Serious birders.

Joshua Tree — Image by kenne
The splendor of the Joshua tree
is as unique and identifiable
to the Mohave Desert
as the majestic saguaro cactus
is to the Sonoran Desert.

The Open Road — Image by kenne
“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading me wherever I choose…
Allons! whoever you are! come forth!
You must not stay sleeping and dallying there in the house, though you built it, or though it has been built for you….
Allons! be not detain’d!…
Allons! the road is before us!”
— Walt Whitman

“Earth, Sky and Tumacácori” — Photo Artistry by kenne
A priestly man
once traveled
the desert southwest
mounted a horse
armed only with love
a force without
a presidio of soldiers
connecting with people
of many tribes
building adobe missions
each opened to the morning sun
located within walking distance
understanding the desert paradox.

The Clouds Above — Image by kenne
Silence accepts their shape
Each a face in the sky
Changing as beams of light
Shine on their own truth.
