Honey Bee on Lemon Blossoms — Image by kenne
The lemon tree breathes light,
each blossom a small lantern,
and the bee moves among them
like a keeper of secrets.
What it takes, it gives—
though not to me, not directly.
Still, I stand in the fragrance
feeling included
in a mystery I do not own.

Bee On Mexican Hat Wildflower 2 comments
Bee On Mexican Hat Wildflower — Image by kenne
A honey bee drifts down,
settling into the dark cone
of the Mexican Hat,
petals flaring red and yellow
like a flamenco dress in wind.
In the Arizona White Mountains
clouds move in slow herds,
shadows sliding across meadows—
but here, the flower holds still,
a small sun drawing sweetness.
The bee works methodically,
gold dust clinging to its legs,
while the mountains breathe
their cool late-summer air,
silence beneath a shifting sky.

Honey bee at work—
sneezeweed sways on Mt. Lemmon,
gold dust in the breeze.

Desert \Spring haiku
What coarse winds, rise you?
Even to think, an untamed spark
May burn such sorrow.

Honey Bee On Arizona Fleabane — Digital Art by kenne
my nature photos
masking layers of art filters
creating my art
digital painting
colors become transparent
blending together
i have become a
digital photo artist
uniting my hands
whatever my tools
technology empowers
the will and desire
i seek to be good
i seek to communicate
not to be perfect
i seek the duende
to find my kindred feelings
in all that i do

Wildflowers On Esperero Trail Leave a comment
Esperero Trail Wildflowers In Sabino Canyon (Spring 2013) — Image by kenne
What lies in the heart
of a hiker is that a
spiritual landscape exists
within the visual landscape
something fleeting in the land,
a moment when shape, color,
and movement intensify
revealing something sacred
leading to another level of reality.

New Encounters With Living Leave a comment
Desert Chicory & Honey Bee — Image by kenne
Climate change coupled with a pandemic
has made life more precious
opening the door to more pursuits
always looking, listening, and learning
creating new encounters with living —
“art is the residue from
the encounter with living.”

Revisiting Mt. Lemmon Wildflowers #3 Leave a comment
This summer, the Big Horn Fire caused so much damage to the National Forest
in the Santa Catalina Mountains remains closed to the public. Therefore,
hiking and photographing wildflowers in the Catalinas will not be in 2020,
which provides a good excuse to revisit some wildflower photos over the past ten summers.

WATERMARK
In every desert, travelers have dried up in the sun,
with shallow wells of water right below them.
perhaps they left too soon, too young, too desperate to run
towards something or away from something else.
Perhaps they hadn’t learned the way to read the tiny trails,
the watermarks remaining from a people who have gone,
whose hieroglyphs translate — in the direction is a spring
of sweet water. Look for it. Or is it, listen?

My home was at Cold Mountain from the start,
Rambling among the hills, far from trouble.
Gone, and a million things leave no trace
Loose, and it flows through the galaxies
A fountain of light, into the very mind—
Not a thing, and yet it appears before me:
Now I know the pearl of the Buddha-nature
Know its use: a boundless perfect sphere.

Bee On Camphorweed — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
