Golden Columbine On Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne
“Where the birds of spring, in their season sing,
Their spontaneous melodies;
Where the columbine and the stately pine
Stand quivering in the breeze;
Where the aspen tall hugs the trachyte wall,
And the wild rose bedecks the hill;
Where the willows weep, and their vigils keep,
On the banks of the San Miguel.”
— from “The Valley Of The San Miguel” by Alfred Castner King
