A Newly Found Trophy — Image by kenne
Pulling tight on the leash
In a tightening stance
Like a newly found trophy.
Or, is it pulling tight
On the leash
In a getaway stance
Like a distance imperative?

The Face of a Child
by Tina Zellner
Through the face of a child
you can see so much
they have very soft smiles
with a warm gentle touch
You can see the sweetness
in all that they do
the precious look when
you tell them you love them too
The smile on their face
when they play in the rain
the sad on their face
when their aching with pain
A child is so precious
God’s gift from above
so give them your heart
and give them your love
Sometimes they may not say
and sometimes they may not show
it’s then that they really need you
more than you know
So give them your time
and show them how to grow
for all of them are special
more than we know!

Special V.I.P. Hike For James — A Five-Year Old Naturalist Is Born 8 comments
The kid loves to hike and also has an eye for skirts! ( When he saw her really picked-up his pace.) Last Monday, James, mom, grandma and I went on a three-mile hike/nature walk in Sabino Canyon. All bias aside, he was my best student yet — interested, attentive, lots of questions and very good at answering mine.
On our way back, James took the lead and proceeded to mimic me — “Now over here is a blah, blah, blah. And here is a blah-blah cactus.” He didn’t always remember the names, but he was something else when it comes to having my style down. Too bad I didn’t get it on video.
Three miles is a good distance for a five-year old. We hiked to the Sabino Canyon dam and back. His only complaint was that we didn’t do more climbing. Of course, his mimicking by body language was a not so subtle way to show he was getting tired of my naming everything along the trail — he had all the moves down pat.

A Sunday At The Farmers Market and The Elgin Wine Festival 1 comment
This past weekend we had some of our family visiting. The day started off with a hike down along the Tanque Verde Wash, followed by walking through the St. Phillip’s Farmers Market, then a drive along scenic Hwy 83 to the Arizona wine country where we attended the Elgin Wine Festival.

James Goes Hiking Along the Tanque Verde Wash 5 comments
In his recent visit, James wanted to go hiking (my kind of kid). So, rather than taking him over to Sabino Canyon and walking the Nature Trail near the center, we walked a few hundred feet to the Tanuri Ridge Desert Park down by the Tanque Verde Wash — he loved it! James was providing me my first opportunity to start practicing what I’m learning in the Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists classes.
If you think he was not listening, you’re wrong. He is quick to share everything he learns — with everyone!
After telling James about Cairns (trail markers), he wanted to help by adding a stone. He was already familiar with the cairns I have on our patio, for which he would being be additional stones to place on the cairns. Makes one wonder if the Scots Gaelic spirit is inside James — there’s a Scottish Gaelic blessing that goes: “I’ll put a stone on your cairn.” Bless you, James.
Grandma and James facing away from the morning sun looking at the roosting turkey vultures. He was very impressed with the big birds.

Fox figures “turn about is fair play” since James is always feeding Fox food from the table.
