cold is the sky
among close friends
inspire with awe
yet cast in doubt
at the new do
looks like a crown
tower of strength
high in the sky
a crest of thorns
part of a hat

Memories Are More Than Fifty Shades Of Gray Leave a comment
Crested Saguaro Under Dark Sky (Sabino Canyon) — Image by kenne
The desert was made for the light
so we can see all its colors.
A black and white photo
excludes all the colors,
while containing all the colors
making memories more than
fifty shades of gray.

Photography is a system of visual editing.
At bottom, it is a matter of surrounding
with a frame a portion of one’s cone of vision,
while standing in the right place at the right time.
Like chess, or writing, it is a matter of choosing from
among given possibilities, but in the case of photography
the number possibilities is not finite, but infinite.

A Crested Saguaro Next To a Regular Saguaro In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
Sometimes the growing tip of a saguaro produces a fan-like form. Such a saguaro is called a crested saguaro. Crested saguaros are rare and generally do not produce arms, making this one for the record books — at least in my book.

Early Morning Hike In Saguaro National Park 9 comments
With the sun rising over the Rincon Mountains, east of Tucson in the Saguaro National Park,
The Monday Morning Milers begin hiking the Wildhorse Trail in a chilly 32 degree fall morning.
The Wildhorse Trail is very dusty from no rain in several months.
The desert grasses glow from the morning sun.
The trail leads toward one of the canyons along the Wildhorse Trail.
The park, named after the beautiful giant saguaro cactus, is occasionally graced by the rear crested saguaro cactus.
The saguaro cactus are rarely found in groups, such as this group of twelve 20 to 70-year-old saguaros.

Long after death, the ribs of saguaro remain standing, a shadow of its live self.

The cristate (or crested) saguaro is rare in the plant world. Science has not yet fully explained why this mutation occurs — many explanations have been offered. This one is located near the Sabino Canyon dam.
