I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence.”

Cactus Blossom –Photo-Artistry by kenne
Cactus Flower
Sun, glare, heat, sweat
Dry, hot, summer, parched
Thirst
Brightly colored blossoms excite, invite
Gems
Longing for a hug
Not emotionally available
Sage green so tall and free, yet not a tree
Blooming high towards the desert sky
Far out of reach, not open to being that close
Pining for snuggles
Spikes
Burning desire to reciprocate your grandeur, but you don’t answer
Thorns
Glorious beauty
Why why why not for me?
Someday
Will I ever be, your bee?

I wait for the moment
I’ll return to the trails
as I did for twelve years
beneath Tucson’s blue sky
in some world of youth
and springtime. Give me,
Powers of the Universe,
the springtime but
spare me the child.

Mourning Doves On European Fan Palms — Images by kenne
A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that’s common across the continent.
Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground;
their flight is fast and bullet straight. Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments.
When taking off, their wings make a sharp whistling or whinnying. Mourning Doves are
the most frequently hunted species in North America. — Source: All About Birds
