“Sonoran Spring”
The desert blooms in whispered gold,
Where cacti wear their crowns so bold.
Ocotillo flames in red delight,
And poppies spark the morning light.
The saguaros lift their arms in praise,
To sun-soft winds and lengthened days.
A hummingbird, a buzzing thread,
Weaves springtime through the riverbed.
Where once was dust, now color clings—
In Sonoran spring, the silence sings.

A wonderful time
Sonoran spring in full bloom
Plenty of beauty.

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.
