Cactus Digital Art — Existing in Absurdity 2 comments
Cactus Digital Art — by kenne
Life, art, and logic are full of absurdities of various kinds.
We conceptualize absurdities when we
discuss square circles and circular squares.
It is art that is able to provide a mediator
between the strange and the real.

“The creative act is only an incomplete and abstract moment in the production of a work.”
— Jean-Paul Sartre

“Lots of Bugs” — Computer Art by kenne
a cactus
photographed on the trailed
now painted
in a two dimension world
dancing to
a different rhythm
still the same?
has it changed,
or is it just
your perception?
different rhythm
different dance.

Three Days After The Blue Moon Leave a comment
Moon over Sabino Canyon three days after the Blue Moon — Image by kenne
Because I have been spending time in the cooler temperatures of Mt. Lemmon, I haven’t been in Sabino Canyon for about a month. After a brief run this morning, I went to check the creek flow (no rain in the canyon, but plenty on the mountains) and photograph barrel cactus flowers — this is the time of year for the barrel cactus to be blooming.
Since I posted a Blue Moon image three days ago, I thought I would capture what remains of it this morning over Sabino Canyon.

A Popular Cactus Blossom 1 comment
Bee & Mesquite Beetle on a Prickly Pear Blossom — Image by kenne
I would not sacrifice a single living mesquite tree for
any book ever written. One square mile of living desert is
worth a hundred “great books” — and one brave deed
is worth a thousand.

Blossom of Colors 1 comment
“Blossom of Colors” — Computer Art by kenne
What is art?
What is life?
What is time?
I know, but
when you ask me
I don’t.
To define
is to fix
in place,
nothing
in real life
is fixed.

Just Can’t Get Enough Desert Beauty 2 comments
Prickly Pear Cactus Blossom — Image by kenne
A rose, well, a rose was
just a prom queen standing still
for a photo. Mountain sunsets,
waterfalls, they were postcards to send
to good friends who trusted happiness
occurred, if at all, in other places.
