Evening Solitude — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Only that which does not teach,
Which does not cry out,
Which does not persuade,
Which does not condescend,
Which does not explain,
Is irresistible.

Two leaves on a bench
Holding on to each other
Braced against fall winds.

A Fall Lupine On Mt. Lemmon 2 comments
A Fall Lupine On Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne
Sunlight shines through the shade
Of a mixed-conifer forest canopy
Spotlighting a beautiful lupine
Not commonly seen this time of year.
Hikers begin using their smart-phones
Eager to capture to share with friends
On their social media pages
Minus the beauty of being there.

Box Camp Trail Nature Hike Leave a comment
In addition to the regular Friday Hikes,
the Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN) also offer a Friday Nature Hike.
I usually help guide the regular SCVN Friday Hikes; however, last Friday,
I decided to do the Box Camp Trail with David Dean, as our nature guide.

Saguaros On The Comeback Trail 1 comment
In September of 2011, I titled a post “Why Would Anyone Do This?” There were several Saguaro cactus that were vandalized on the Bear Canyon Trail in Sabino Canyon.
In August of 2015, I posted a follow-up photo-essay on the damaged cactus.
Recently I photograph the cactus that were damaged, again.
When I talk
about Sabino Canyon
I mean myself,
my home,
my state of mind.
Some don’t get what I say,
maybe it’s because
we don’t talk the same language.
All I can say to those I meet:
“Try and make it to Sabino Canyon.”

Fostering the Creation of An Illusion Leave a comment
Rose Canyon Lake In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
Hiking, watching each step
yet it is possible to look at
various distances engaging
my attention on many points
occurring in space around me.
Living in time passing,
it is easy to contemplate
past times with the present
state to retain its peace —
having combined the moment
with the past, thus fostering
the creation of an illusion
as if some future place and time.

Hiking Sunset Trail, A Photo Essay 1 comment
“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.”
— John Muir
Yesterday’s SCVN Friday hike took place on the Sunset Trail,
a popular summertime hike on Mt. Lemmon connecting hikers
to Marshall Gulch without having to drive all the way up through Summerhaven.
