Hello Yellow

Sun messaging summer's arrival...


We bend our head to avoid
the blaze glinting in our eyes
that's also baking our shoulders.
As wafting heat surrounds us
shroud blanketing us in warmth...
In the desert summer needs
no signals it has descended.

Leave-Taking

Nature is a sentiment...


Post hard spring rain,
that soaked needy desert floor,
there a single droplet remains.
Clasped to twig leaf branch,
unwilling to take leave,
and fall without the chance,
to bid adios to burgeoning flowers. 
Assignees of the tiny water beads
contribution to baptizing largesse,
a rich offering to arid land enhanced.

The Color Desert

Panoply of tints from an arid land...

Although many envision the desert as monochromatic with a seemingly endless monotony of sameness the arid landscape is varied polychromatic. 


The variety of chroma is as great as any moisture saturated terrain and displays subtly or brightly depending on object, time of year and place. The color palette ranges across the hues of blue, yellow, brown, green, red with a vast catalog of pigmentation from azure, cobalt, gold, sand, copper, sepia, jade, turquoise, coral, rose and gradations in between. Coloration blends and folds into the scenery or stands out distinctly among the backdrop. This set of photos demonstrates tinges of yellow, green and red.

In the cool of evening the colors are bright...

Deciduous trees turn and drop leaves in December and January.
