Smart Phone Photo Walk   3 comments

Kenne, with Balance Issues Saturday Morning

It was supposed to be a walk, not a hike, so I didn’t take hiking poles. My friend Dan was our
smartphone photo guide; however,  I should have known that Dan might be leading us across some small washes since he had a cane.
So, it was handy for me to use after Dan crossed this ditch.

A Very Short Video Clip. The Audio Is Difficult to Understand.

Funnel-shaped flowers

Once open, a brilliant red

A real firecracker.

Jackson Square Window — Photo-Artistry by kenne

Over the last forty years, Joy and I have spent many days in one of our favorite cities, New Orleans. 
In this image, she looks away because she is not feeling well, so we stop for a bite to eat.
Looking back on this moment, it was probably not the best time for me to photograph her.

Their movement is slow

Blending in with dead branches

Our presence ignored.

Borderland Moon — Photo-Artistry by kenne
 
Therefore all seasons shall be sweet to thee,
Whether the summer clothe the general earth
With greenness, or the redbreast sit and sing
Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch
Of mossy apple-tree, while the night-thatch
Smokes in the sun-thaw; whether the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.
 
— from Frost at Midnight by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Desert Landscape   Leave a comment

Desert Landscape — Image by kenne

“Alone in the silence, I understand for a moment the dread which many feel in the presence of primeval desert,
the unconscious fear which compels them to tame, alter or destroy what they cannot understand, to reduce the wild
and prehuman to human dimensions. Anything rather than confront directly the anti-human, that other world
which frightens not through danger or hostility but in something far worse – its implacable indifference.”

Edward Abbey

Life Turned Around   3 comments

Turned Around — Image by kenne

Turned around,
Here am I.
Knowing how,
Not the why.

Young in heart
Old in age.
Feeling the itch,
Pacing the cage.

Inner peace,
Knowing the thou.
Learning to write
Thesis of now.

Turned around,
Found love.
Living the moment,
Free as a dove.

Still learning,
When to talk.
Listening for,
Beat of the walk.

Reality is now,
Truth in the heart.
Singing the knowledge,
Requiem to smart.

Turned around,
Found beauty in art.
Traveling the future,
With Dylan and Descartes

May brings on a bounty of cactus blossoms, and among them is the yellow prickly pear blossom,
our “yellow rose of Arizona.”
