The monsoon rains bring new life to the Sonoran Desert. This past week has experienced some very good rain fall, especially in the mountains. The start of the monsoon season brings out the Sonoran toads, but they breed in water, and even with the recent rains we have had several months of no rain and Sabino Creek remains dry. The above photo was taken this morning, but based on sighting a few miles up the creek, there maybe water flowing over the dam by night fall.
Down from the dam, there are few pools of water that Jeanne, Dan and I explored this morning and found some toads. The mating season will last only a few days, so with more rain expected today and tomorrow, and with water coming down the creek, the toads will probably be very active the next couple of days.

Sabino Dam in June — Panorama by kenne
NOW WE WAIT
The creek has run dry
now we wait
now we wait for rain
from monsoon storms
soon to form
over desert mountains
now we wait
now we wait daring
these days of dust.

My queen for a day
Three doors from which to choose art,
Which door will she choose?

Lesser Goldfinch — Computer Art by kenne
Lesser goldfinch
in the canyon
reflecting
little gold flecks
lighting up
the mesquite tree.
My words are wings
again I encounter thee
with your breast of gold
in my dreams
lighting up
my lemon tree.

Dares the world around us
Frightening the soul.
