This time of year Picacho Peak State Park is an excellent example of the biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert.
Plants are at the greenest and wildflowers provide dots of color on the desert canvass.
The canvass of the desert
may appear to have no order.
Yet it is orderly,
but we don’t know why.
A poet has said;
If you want to know
where the flowers came from,
not even the spring goddess knows.

Sonoran Spring — Image by kenne
Most days I walk the rocky trails
with a camera hanging on my shoulder.
I stop, and again a little farther down
to gather a new perspective making use of
color and brightness everywhere I look.
With age, I have become a more casual hiker
allowing more time to ponder and train my eyes
to better capture the raw mystery and diversity
of plants and animals in the Sonoran spring,
where life is both fragile and strong.

Abandoned In The Desert — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Stripped of its value
Kicked, shoot at, and abandoned
As Sonoran junk.

Christmas Day Clouds Forcast Rain with Snow in the Mountains Around Tucson — Photo-Artistry by kenne
A Desert Christmas Day
The morning sun drives rays
of light through the canyon peaks.
The wind is beginning to pick-up
pushing parts of the sky together
opening windows to the heavens
through which life’s passions erupt in
stories becoming the makings of myths.

Desert Sunrise Photo-Artistry by kenne
A haunting morning
Transforms a normal
And simple aesthetic
Trying for unsettling
Depths of darkness.
