Apache Beggarticks Wildflowers On Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne
As fall comes to Mt. Lemmon
The mixed conifer forest begins
To show its autumn colors as
Mountain wildflowers will remain
Until the winter snows start to fall
And Mt. Lemmon becomes a house
Without beams and walls.

The draft of this posting was done in late July before we went on our August road trip.
However, many photos later, just today, I noticed this unpublished draft —
Better late than never.

Love is like wildflowers;
It’s often found in the most unlikely places.

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.

“And anyway, what is the difference between self-knowledge and self-obsession?
One encourages a defeat of the ego, the other encourages a feeding of the ego.
One a deeper experience of connection to ourselves, which enables a more
nourishing connection to others. The other, disdain for the deeper needs of the self,
which leads to disdain of others.”
— from On Connection by Kae Tempest
