Staying Cool In Tucson Under My Estes Park Cap 11 comments
Staying Cool In Tucson Under My Estes Park Cap — Image by kenne
mid-day in the desert,
I walk outside
taking a break
watching
the birds drinking
at the fountain
white-winged doves
dart
across the sky.
where are they going,
in their
straight path-line,
I wonder?
I sit
in the shade
of the olive tree
the desert dry heat
an’t bad,
as long as you
are not moving
and have a
iced-cold beer
in hand —
this is what
desert life
is all about!
somehow
these are
peaceful
days.

Schefflera bonsai
Surviving the desert heat
In a small planter.
Indestructible
A full-sized brassaia
In shade with water.

(This bonsai started life in the sub-tropic climate of the gulf coast many years ago. We moved it with us to Tucson where it loss its leaves, but has come back strong. I will be trimming it back and repotting this winter — life goes on in the desert for this indestructible bonsai.)

SCVN Friday Hike On The Oracle Ridge Trail #1(June 14, 2013) 4 comments
Oracle Ridge Trail, View South Toward Mount Lemmon (Since I Was Leading This Year’s Hike,This Is An Image From Last Year) — Image by kenne
Oracle Ridge Trail #1
Once a trail
through the Mount Lemmon Forest,
shaded by tall ponderosas
until the trail reached the ridge
where the only shade
was from large alligator junipers.
This picture made it a favorite
of many southern Arizona hikers,
till ten years ago
the ridge was charred
by the Aspen Wildfire,
leaving only minds eye images.
Now, ten years out
many blacken trees remain
as new aspen, pine seedlings
and New Mexico locust
bring back the green
to the ridge.
Always a moderately
difficult trail on the return,
the loss of shade
has made it less inviting
to those looking for
a cool retreat from
the desert heat below —
still #1 for some.
