Tanque Verde Wash Tail — Photo Essay by kenne
(Click On Any Image To See In A Slideshow Format

I have been walking the trails along the Tanque Verde Wash for over ten years,
taking many photos of the art and still have no idea who is the artist(s) —
for me, it’s a mystery.

Morning Walk On The Tanque Verde Wash Trail — HDR Image by kenne

“Direction is so much more important than speed.” Or said another way;
“Sometimes being low is the best way to reach your goal,
just think about what you may learn on the way.”

Mexican Olive Blossoms (Cordia boissieri) — Images by kenne

This time of year, we get up earlier

with daylight coming earlier to begin

our morning walk while it’s still cool

here in the desert. Now that I’m doing less hiking,

it’s important to get the morning walks in.

At my age, the key some mornings is not to

walk faster and longer; it is to aim for continuation —

got to keep on moving.

We were expecting rain overnight,

expecting my walk might be delayed.

When it does rain, I can hear it on the skylight;

not hearing any, I knew there was no by daylight.

The walk took place on schedule,

commenting to other walkers,

“the forecast was wrong.”

We did get some rain after breakfast,

not enough for the rain gauge to measure.

Sunlight and Shadows — Images by kenne

I walk in the morning sunlight
or is it in the morning shadows
you choose the perspective.

A bird crosses my path
disappearing in the shadows
only to quickly fly away.

I perceived each morning walk
with reference to a particular frame
where “same” events are not the same.

A Morning Walk Along The Tanque Verde Wash Leave a comment

A Morning Walk Along The Tanque Verde Wash — Images by kenne

Our community of Tanuri Ridge backs up to the Tanque Verde Wash. The wash continues to eat away at our property line.
Soon, this part of the trail will be washed away, along with the “branch art” monuments along the Tanque Verde banks.

Recent mountain rains in the Catalinas are beginning to bring ash from the Big Horn Fire to the wash.

I saw you on my morning walk.

Stopping,

I Thought such a little guy

to have such a big blossom.

Impressed,

I decided to take you with me.

Now,

you are always with me.

Wonder—is not precisely Knowing
And not precisely Knowing not—
A beautiful but bleak condition
He has not lived who has not felt—

Suspense—is his maturer Sister—
Whether Adult Delight is Pain
Or of itself a new misgiving—
This is the Gnat that mangles men—

Morning Walk In The Woods Leave a comment

SHadows on The Path Morning Walk in The Woodlands Texas, 2008 — Collage by kenne

Darkness in transition
Embracing the solitude

Pondering the moment
Filled with emotions

Posturing the thoughts
Consoled by pod music
Tempering the walk

Framed on the cover
Of the Rolling Stone
In the shadows of reality

Light in transition
Sharing the solitude
With morning shadows

Appearing in the light
Vanishing in the darkness

Stepping in alternation
Moving to the front
Moving to the back

Dancing to the music
In the shadows of reality

The only way to make
sense out of change
is to plunge into it,
move with it,
and join the dance.

the sky is blue

a perfect time, thereby,

for a walk with you.

“Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret.”

— Bill Bryson
