Bird On A Limb — Computer Art by kenne
On an outing to photograph
wildflowers and butterflies
a little bird kept chirping,
as if to get my attention.
Staying on point,
I tried ignoring her —
the conditions for
photographing her
were not good,
but she was persistent.
So, ignoring problems with
lighting and distance
I answered her call
taking two shots.
Later, at home
I downloaded the image
and as expected,
it was not good.
But, something
about the little bird
kept getting my attention,
so I created away
to share her
in the blogosphere.

A Lonesome Dove — Image by kenne
Each spring a pair of
white-winged doves
return to our patio area
and each year I welcome
the morning cooing calls,
sometimes on the front
courtyard wall as I leave
to go hiking or a morning run.
Later in the day,
always near sunset,
I see them at the patio fountain
for an end of day watering —
they may not know it
but we have become close friends
over the five years
we have called Tucson our home.
The other day as I returned from
an early morning run
I noticed a dove
on the street circle grassy area
face down
tail feather pointed up,
almost instinctively
I began to look around —
there on the courtyard wall
was a lone dove
looking toward the circle.
Later that morning I saw him
in a mesquite tree near the circle —
and for days now I see
him as if without looking.
Slowly I have accepted
that my friend
has lost a friend.
Now only one dove
visits the fountain at sunset.
I have begun to noticed
morning cooing again,
maybe, just maybe my friend
will find a new friend.

I mozy, do you?
Long legs moving straight ahead,
Waddle side to side.

The Eye of the Pelican — Image by kenne
The Pelican
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I’m damned if I see how the helican!
