Christmas Day Clouds Leave a comment
Christmas Day Clouds Forcast Rain with Snow in the Mountains Around Tucson — Photo-Artistry by kenne
A Desert Christmas Day
The morning sun drives rays
of light through the canyon peaks.
The wind is beginning to pick-up
pushing parts of the sky together
opening windows to the heavens
through which life’s passions erupt in
stories becoming the makings of myths.

Today I thought . . . Leave a comment
Rock Formation Along Catalina Highway — Image by kenne
Today I thought of monsoon skies,
with big puffs of white cotton
gaining height in the midday blue.
Today I thought about the rain,
falling on the mountains
soaking nature’s soul.
Today I thought about raindrops
leaving prints on everything they touch,
congregating down the mountain streams.
Today I thought of my print
walking with nature
aligned with its very being,
my being communicating with its soul,
entering into a dynamic creative flow
experiencing nature’s bonding reality,
connecting all things in a meaningful whole
through which an allowance, a trust,
opens the vessels of my very being,
allowing my snapshots to profile nature’s
abundance of comfort and wealth,
in the horn of plenty on life’s table
where each moment captured becomes
a reminder that “life is just a leap of faith —
so spread your arms and hold your breath . . .”
Today I thought . . .

When there are no clouds in a desert sunset, it’s just another beautiful sunset. But when clouds move in the sunset takes on something special, which gives me a reason to capture nature at its best.

Happiness Is What You Make Of Life 2 comments
Clouds Over the Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
“Too many Americans have twisted the sensible right to pursue happiness into the delusion that we are entitled to a guarantee of happiness. If we don’t get exactly what we want, we assume someone must be violating our rights. We’re no longer willing to write off some of life’s disappointments to simple bad luck.”

“Lift Yourself High Enough To See Beyond Horizons.” 2 comments
Clouds — Image by kenne
“A cloud does not know why it moves
in just such a direction and at such a speed…
It feels an impulsion…
this is the place to go now.
But the sky knows the reasons
and the patterns behind all clouds,
and you will know, too,
when you lift yourself high enough
to see beyond horizons.”

Clouds Sing, But Not In Vain Leave a comment
“Cloud Music” — Computer Art by kenne
Not in Vain
When the afternoon dies
and age advances with
its disconcerting turns
when silence
falls silent for the last time
and the voice disintegrates
in the cracks of the soul
and the word extinguishes its lantern
before dawn falls
over streets and mountains
and the spirit closes its windows
to shut out the morning’s light,
only music will be left, little one,
music, to remind us
that not everything is in vain.

Illustrious the Sky 2 comments
Illustrious the Sky (August 15-16, 2015) — Images by kenne
Splendor of ended day floating and filling me,
Hour prophetic, hour resuming the past,
Inflating my throat, you divine average,
You earth and life till the last ray gleams I sing.
Open mouth of my soul uttering gladness,
Eyes of my soul seeing perfection,
Natural life of me faithfully praising things,
Corroborating forever the triumph of things.
Illustrious every one!
Illustrious what we name space, sphere of unnumber’d
spirits,
Illustrious the mystery of motion in all beings,
even the tiniest insect,
Illustrious the attribute of speech, the senses, the body,
Illustrious the passing light—illustrious the pale reflection
on the new moon in the western sky,
Illustrious whatever I see or hear or touch, to the last.

“Zion Canyon is the work of water
In concert with the winds that shape the heart.
One sees a grandeur equal to one’s wonder;
Nor can one be, but of such grace a part.”

A vision —
perpendicular

monoliths.
Generating an

connecting

Curls Or Clouds? I Create, Therefore I Think! Let’s All Be Kids Forever 1 comment
“Curls or Clouds?” — Image by daughter Katie when she was six.
“At age 4, many young children are just beginning to explore their artistic style.”
From NPR, “What Kids’ Drawings Say About Their Future Thinking Skills”
Art by grandson Nick when he was six — Image by kenne
“These early works may be good for more than decorating your refrigerator and cubicle, researchers say.
There appears to be an association, though a modest one, between how a child draws at 4 and her thinking skills at 14,
according to a study published in the journal Psychological Science.”
Let’s all be kid’s forever!

“The Catalinas are one of about 65 ranges commonly known as the Sky Islands,
and these, in turn are a subregion of a much larger geological province
known as the Basin and Range Geological Province.”
