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.

Life must be lived moment by moment.
Each moment carries a message,
a lesson for us.

Giant Saguaro Cactus In Sabino Canyon 1 comment
Giant Saguaro Cactus In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
Along the mountain ridges,
Across the desert floor;
Arms like verdant armor,
Stalwarts guard our door.
Shading for the lizard,
Haven for the wren,
Source of inspiration,
For past and present men.
–Earl Bloss, “Saguaros,” in Arizona Highways, 1973
