“I dream of a quiet man
who explains nothing
and defends nothing,
but only knows where
the rarest wildflowers
are blooming…”

Spring Break At Seven Falls in the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area — HDR Image by kenne
May my feet always touch the earth
Stretching from the desert to the mountains
While I’m still able to hike on the rocks
Made by fire and time.

Hiking In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
These regal,
sky islands exist,
unique, and vast,
unmatched diversity
raising summits
a sun sparkling
through the canyon
guiding hikers
to conquests
we aspire.

A Fall Hike In the Sonoran Desert — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Fields of gold
more beautiful
than any mineral
Strike it rich
it’s out there
to be found
There’s more
I know, just
keep on hiking
Over the hills
through meadows
of golden magic

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake On The Defence — Image by kenne
With desert temperatures in the upper 40s at night and low 80s during the day,
it’s not uncommon to see these guys along the trail getting some sun
before moving on as they look for food.
This guy was a little bothered as we approached.
However, he was kind enough to let us know.

I hold no preference among flowers,
so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.

Before going on our August road trip I created a number of draft posting that I never posted.
This one is from August 2, 2021 — doing some housekeeping.

A Columbine Bouquet — Image by kenne
At the edge of a stream
Stretching through mountain woods
Watching clouds create dark shadows
That sink down the stream where
Golden columbines shine
Though the dark shadows.

Each moment carries a message,
a lesson for us.
