Bee On Fairy Duster Wildflower (July 16, 2021) — Image by kenne
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However, many photos later, just today, I noticed this unpublished draft —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 — 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 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.
