Mushrooms and Moss on Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne

Moss holds the slope together.

Mushrooms rise, then vanish.

Water remembers both.

Aspens Near The Ski Runs On Mt. Lemmon

Autumn wind chases in
From all directions
And a thousand chaste leaves
Give way.

Moving Fast — Abert’s Squirrel On Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne

“People look at me like I’m a little strange
when I go around talking to
squirrels and rabbits and stuff.
That’s ok. That’s just ok.”

The order in which we live
The love of being.

Sabino Canyon — Photo-Artistry by kenne

I am a lone raven high
above the canyon wall
circling up, then down
as hikers make their way
on the old mule trail up
to a series of switch-backs
opening into a meadow
where many options prevail
going east, going west
before turning back north
to the mountain called Lemmon.

I am a lone raven blessed
to fly above other mortals
circling up, then down
but still, I work hard to fly
seeing images of life below
inspiration of an alien being
a curious extrovert, I call out
taken as a signal by some
just a lot of noise by others
still unnoticed by others
neutral touches interwoven.

Revisiting Mt. Lemmon Wildflowers #1   Leave a comment

The Big Horn fire this summer 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.
