Christmas Greater Roadrunner Is Spying On You 7 comments
“Christmas Greater Roadrunner” — Image by kenne
You better watch out
You better not sigh
You better not doubt
I’m telling you why
Christmas Roadrunner is spying on you
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
He runs level to the ground
Watching your every move
Running through this land of brown
Always knowing how to sing and grove
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
He sees you, you don’t see him
Quiet when you are near by
Sometimes on a low limb
Raising a bushy blue-black crest high
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
You better watch out
Cause he may suddenly run at you
So, you better not doubt
I’m telling you true
Christmas Roadrunner is spying on you
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo
co-coo-coo-coo-coooooo

The Eyes Tell You
Little girls have a mysterious power,
But not all can feel it – when she does,
You can see it in her eyes.
As she matures, she is driven
To climb the tower of perfection,
Always resisting her own indifference.
Her enigmatic power is needed
To stir the artist inside,
To triumph over the unenlightened.
In her own way, she will find something new,
Something never before encountered
Placing art in a world void of feeling.
Inventive, she will act,
Sometimes seeking out failure
In order to turn it into a triumph.
Once her power is transformed
By the magical virtue of art,
Loving and understanding becomes simpler.

Mother’s Day 2013 — Words Are All I Have 3 comments
Chase and Mother Agnes — Image my kenne
Thinking about Mother
I thought about yesterday
Remembering the moments
I thought about today
Taking a deep breath.
I thought about tomorrow
Exceeding my grasp.
I thought about time
Wondering about timeless.
I thought about life,
Asking the questions.
I thought about people,
Knowing not what I see.
I thought about what is,
Wondering why?
I thought about ideals,
Seeking what should be.
I thought about truth,
Confusing it with the facts.
I thought about art,
Becoming aware.
I thought about love
Touching the feeling.
I thought about Joy,
Feeling love inside.
I thought about you,
Walking with long shadows
I thought again of tomorrow
Sharing your path.
These are my words to you, Mother. We miss you every day, especially on Mother’s Day!

Decorating Creosote Bushes At Christmas 5 comments
Images by kenne
Driving old Route 66 in the foothills of the Black Mountains near Oatman, Arizona, we noticed one of the ever-present Creosote bushes along the edge of the highway was decorated. Figuring this had to be a photo opt, I stopped to capture the moment.
Continuing our drive to Oatman, we saw another decorated Creosote bush: then another and another. I have since learn that this is a Christmas tradition — children decorating the bushes along Route 66 outside of Oatman.

Capturing The Moment — Little Snow-Covered Tree: “Noel Noel” 3 comments
Mt. Lemmon, December 22, 2011 — Image by Kenne
New snow-covered tree
Dressed white in forest shadows
Stood bent before me.
kenne
little tree
little tree
little silent Christmas tree
you are so little
you are more like a flower
who found you in the green forest
and were you very sorry to come away?
see i will comfort you
because you smell so sweetly
i will kiss your cool bark
and hug you safe and tight
just as your mother would,
only don’t be afraid
look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold
every finger shall have its ring
and there won’t be a single place dark or unhappy
then when you’re quite dressed
you’ll stand in the window for everyone to see
and how they’ll stare!
oh but you’ll be very proud
and my little sister and i will take hands
and looking up at our beautiful tree
we’ll dance and sing
“Noel Noel”

Capturing the Word — Christmas Eve Alone 1 comment
Image by kenne
The original photo was taken at the Corner Pub in Conroe, Texas during the Christmas season. It was a merry time, but this image of one of the band members out of Austin, on his cell phone gave a different image.
Christmas Eve Alone
In the shadows of street lights
Outside the courthouse walls
Mused as they access the night
Leaning against the door’s edge
Not sure if I should go in
Or stay out and take the pledge
Gazing into the dark pub
Not penetrating the door
Peppered with eyes in the club
My shadow touching each eye
Knowing only my dark image
Masked in a fear of reply
So, lonely are the shadows
Confined by all nearby objects
Blurring in with all that glows

Thanksgiving in Southern California 1 comment
Image by kenne
About 25 family and friends gathered at the annual Thanksgiving dinner hosted by Jody and Jim in the Redlands. This was Joy’s first opportunity in 32 years to attend the annual dinner. As it has been here in Tucson, the weather was cool, but sunny. We had a pleasant seven hour drive over on Wednesday, and returned on Saturday to freezing conditions here in the desert with some of the coldest days in a decade. Tuesday the 30th, was 23 degrees, breaking the 1934 record low. The area has a lot of plant damage.
