For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?
And I have known the eyes already, known them all—
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
And how should I presume?
— from The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock by T S Eliot

Morning rains welcomed
Here in the Tucson desert
Moving on midday.

Sabino Canyon Cottonwood: Diversity Near The Creek — Image by kenne
it’s leaf-peeper time
for desert trees near water
turning sun colors
light up cloudy days
early signs of spring colors
buds on brittlebush
thinking of poems
I walk collecting images
I may never use
nature’s distinction
a wild garden made of time
rhythm of cycles
the trails are narrow
filled with echoes of past steps
now sounds of silence
floating gray clouds pass
still, light shines through the shadows
as twisting leaves fall
two young girls passed by
visitors from the cold north
loose-breasted sun nymphs
time has moved by fast
in need of a time machine
bygone days are gone

Because of a lack of winter rains,
brittlebush plants are very dry and few
are blooming this spring.

Even with last week’s good rainfall, most brittlebush plants are not blooming as would normally be this time of year. We have had a very dry winter, even so, these two plants were located near one another.

I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence.”

Brittlebush Blooming In The Sonoran Desert — Images by kenne
With good rains earlier this month the Sonoran desert is beginning to explode into a colorful display that changes the brown desert landscape into a sea of floral yellow. With a little rain, this common desert scrub will begin to bloom and will do so almost year round. I last posted brittlebush blossom images two months ago.
