A Morning Delight Above The Sabino Dam   1 comment

hookers-evening-primrose-0159-3-art-blogHooker’s Evening Primrose (December 12, 2016) — Image by kenne

It has been warmer than average for this time of year.
Except for a few small pools of water, Sabino Creek is dry.
Yet, above the  Sabino Dam, a bee and I found this lone
Hooker’s Evening Primrose — a very pleasant surprise.

Beauty is but a flower . . .   Leave a comment

Aspen Draw August 2013Beauty is but a flower . . .  — Computer Art by kenne

Beauty is but a flower
Which wrinkles will devour;
Brightness falls from the air;
Queens have died young and fair;
Dust hath closed Helen’s eye.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Bee on Blossom –A Picture Is More Than A Picture   2 comments

Bee on Blossom (1 of 1) blogBee and Blossom — Image by kenne

If a picture

of a bee on a blossom

is the same as any picture

of a bee on a blossom,

then you are missing out

on how physical and emotional

conditions change each picture

bringing poetry to the

captured moment.

live out on a limb
where the best nectar is found
away from the norm.

my teacher told me
flowers and blossoms will die
beware of the saw.

Working To Master The Medium   Leave a comment

I move closure to
Mastering the medium
With each photograph.

The camera’s eye
Reveals an uncharted world
Waiting to be launched.

Time is running out,
So I capture the present
For future musing.

This Is A Real Bee-Bummer   2 comments

Desert Museum-9786 blogDying Bee On Flower — Image by kenne

We read about bees
disappearing,
but this one chose to
die on the job.

Actually,
this honey bee
didn’t choose to die on the job,
we made the choice.

This image frightens me.
I care about bees —
especially honey bees.
We can’t afford to lose bees.

So, why was this bee dying?

We think we know,
but then we don’t —
actually we do,
but we are in denial.

Neonics,
that’s right, neonics
are intoxicating
the honey bees

in the dysfunctional
food system
we have created,
in which they work —

try going to work
when you are
undernourished
and drunk!

For myself I hold no preferences among flowers,
so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.
Bricks to all greenhouses!
Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!
