Lacepod Mustard Leave a comment
Lacepod Mustard — Image by kenne
Lacepod Mustard is a common species found throughout Arizona in various habitats below 4,000 feet.
It has a distinctive rounded or oval-shaped fruit with small perforations around its perimeter.
The plant is rather drab-looking and inconspicuous, but the distinctive rounded fruits are most exciting and
appealing. I captured this image along the Esperero Trail in Sabino Canyon, April 2013.

Another Year of Few Wildflowers Leave a comment
Another Year of Few Wildflowers In The Sonoran Desert — Image by kenne
Spring wildflowers in the Sonoran desert depend on fall and winter rains. When there are little to no rains, as
has been the last few years, then there are few wildflowers in the spring. The above image is in the Molino
Basin, where in non-drought years, there are plenty of wildflowers to photograph. This year there are only a
few patches to be found.

Esperero Trail Wildflowers In Sabino Canyon (Spring 2013) — Image by kenne
What lies in the heart
of a hiker is that a
spiritual landscape exists
within the visual landscape
something fleeting in the land,
a moment when shape, color,
and movement intensify
revealing something sacred
leading to another level of reality.

Ask the spring,
in its beauty
no stranger
to this land.
Who is the man
pale and bloody
his wounds from
miles of walking?

A Springtime That Was Not In Desert Leave a comment
Sutherland Trail (March 27, 2015)– Image by kenne
Springtime in the desert —
What’s not to love
when the flowers
are blooming!
The continuing drought
in the southwest
has devastated
this spring’s growth.

It’s amazing what a little rain can do in the desert.

Don’t Pick The Wildflowers Leave a comment
A Desert Spring — Desert Chicory & Mexican Poppy — Image by kenne
I Want
all the poppies to bloom
a carpet, bright bed where
you could lie down. And if
I knew where you traveled,
I would cross the river,
climb unraveled banks,
ravines thick with brambles,
and pick their fruit. You might
not know these tangled
arms, but I would bring you
berries, plums, if I knew
your thirst sunk deep as mine.

I Look Beyond Flowers 1 comment
Desert Rosemallow — Image by kenne
As I looked beyond
the flowers in the canyon
curvature of the
desert basin begins,
rolling across dried river beds
to the west where
the sun sets each day
beyond the Tucson Mountains
starting a new day
somewhere in the east.
