Tanuri Ridge Sunset Computer Painting — Image by kenne
Evening comes slowly, a patient hand across the desert sky. Tanuri Ridge lifts its quiet spine against the last of the light, trees and shadows holding their place as the horizon begins to burn.
The sun spills its final colors— deep amber, rose drifting into violet, a breath of gold dissolving into silence. Every hue lingers longer than the last, as though the sky is unwilling to let go.
On the screen, a digital brush gathers the moment, stroke after stroke shaping what fades. Pixels remember what the eye can only witness once.
Here, in painted light, the sunset does not vanish— it stays suspended, a meditation on time, a stillness made visible, a horizon that never fully darkens.
In the Patio shade after a long hike
After the hike, on the patio’s calm, boots kicked off, legs still humming. A bourbon rests in hand— amber catching the low sun. The photographer sees shapes in shadows, the poet folds them into quiet lines. Here, both are at home, letting the day slip into night.

Blooming Mexican Bird of Paradise
Golden flares in desert heat, fronds ablaze where sidewalks meet, petals spilling flame and light— sunrise rooted in full sight. Hummingbirds in fleeting dance sip the nectar, take their chance, while dusty winds pass overhead and paint the blooms a deeper red. Flame-tipped petals catch the breeze, a burst of fire among the trees. Yellow, red, and orange flare— summer’s banner in desert air.
