There ain’t no substitute    11 comments

Under Tucson skies
 
Under Tucson skies
Desiring the wings to fly
In a sky so deep blue
Satisfied to walk my days
Under Tucson skies.
 
Sometimes I get a little lost
Acting like a kid flying high
I don’t know why
the thrill is still here
Satisfied under Tucson skies.
 
I know it an’t just 
one of those things
It’s something so nice
So I can’t get use to
Something so right.
 
I see beautiful colors
I want to write about
But there an’t no substitute 
For the real thing 
I know there an’t no substitute.

A cloudy morning

Sun’s low angle finds a way

Breaking through the clouds.

Sulphur Butterfly and Yardflowers Mixed Art (September 2012) — by kenne

Understand the relationship
Between a butterfly and a flower.
Understand the relationship
Between food and hunger,
Between drink and thirst.

But dear sir, let not the heart
Go loose without restraint.
Go apart from all and stay.

Greater Roadrunner On A Patio Morning — Images by kenne

This time of the year in the desert is so pleasant. The mornings are cooler, so after a walk, I like to watch and listen
to the many birds coming to our feeders and water at the fountain. Occasionally, a Greater Roadrunner appears on top
of the patio wall on their way to get water at the fountain. I happened to be sitting there with my camera and got a few pictures.

and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high-away, bye-bye.”
