Delicate Arch In Arches National Park   Leave a comment

Delicate Arch In Arches National Park with the La Sal Mountains in the Background — Painting by kenne

Delicate Arch is a 52-foot-tall (16 m) freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park, near Moab in 
Grand County, Utah, United States. The arch is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park
and is depicted on Utah license plates and a postage stamp commemorating Utah’s centennial anniversary
of admission to the Union in 1886. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch. 

Delicate Arch is formed of Entrada Sandstone. The original sandstone fin was gradually worn away by weathering and erosion,
leaving the arch. Other arches in the park were formed the same way but, due to placement and less dramatic shape,
are not as famous. — Source: Wikipedia

Cut Flowers Painting — Photo-Artistry by kenne      

Though the cut flowers wilt
and the leaves wither, blanching
in the vase for days, still
they remind me of fields, the loveliness
of fading part by part, so many
changes, not sudden the cutting
down, not brutal but a way of
undoing. A fulfillment.
Merciful, you could say,
the cutting down and then
the slow undoing, which returns
forms to their beginning
as they go, petal by petal, and leaf
curling, how one shrivels
and falls.

Cooper’s Hawk in Mesquite Tree — Painting by kenne

“For those of us who portray wildlife . . . our decision to persist in our quest for excellence is almost always based
on a love affair,
a fascination with the creatures of our planet, and a need to share this feeling the best way we know how.”

— Bob Kuhn (Wildlife Artist, One of the Tucson 7)

Cat and Bird by Paul Klee moma.org 

Predator

It takes only a minute
to bury a wren.
Two trowels full of dirt
and he’s in.

The cat as the threshold
sits longer in doubt
deciding whether
to stay in or go out.

Empress Leilia Butterfly Painting — Photo-Artistry by kenne

Fall creeping through a dusty sky

Another wind blown gray shadow 

The piercing thorns tear at wings

Yellows and oranges muscling loose

Only someday to tire of the journey

Knowing the winds inevitable gyre.
