Welcome

Early morning light brightens a cluster or organ pipe cacti and an ocotillo just starting to bloom at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona.
Welcome, Sister Sun!
I have been waiting for you
through the long, cold night.

Blue Monday: Cholla

A bright blue sky highlights a variety of cholla cactus, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona.
A cholla perks up when the sky
Turns blue as an iris—but why?
I’m not sure I know,
But surely it’s so,
And that’s good enough—it’s no lie!

A heaven with hints of sky blue
Appears to be welcoming you
To this desert land,
Where vistas are grand—
Come out and enjoy the great view!

For cactus blossoms
I keep watching and waiting—
a crow watches me.

Arizona heat—
tall saguaros quench their thirst
with sips of water

Cloudless

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
On a cloudless day
not even crows fill the void
with their raucous songs.
