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
Prickly Pear Cactus Blossoms — Images by kenne
Most people, when asked to identify a yellow spring flower would probably identify daffodils.
But, in the sunny Tucson area, most people would say the prickly pear cactus blossom,
or the palo verde blossoms.
Yellow is a warm and friendly color and most associated with is the sun. During spring,
it almost seems like the sun changes its light from a cold white to a warm and glowy yellow.

Hiking Shoes — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Stumble On
My hiking shoes rest in the garage
Next to the hiking poles, yet
I continue to stumble on —
Stumble on down life’s path.
A life of jogging, enduring pain
Followed by a decade of hiking
Enduring pain in an old man’s body,
Yet I continue to stumble on —
Stumble on down life’s path
Trying not to let a stumble
Become a fall on life’s path.
