My life is quickly being reduced to some old dawns, dusks, sunrises, sunsets, cottonwoods, pets, Rio Grande, bosque, Sandias, moon and pets with an occasional stinkbug, bird, bee, flower, and different trees thrown in. Below is a recent song I wrote about things being “The Same.”

Dog: “Don’t be mad!”
Resa’s Wolf Tree soon after sunrise
Roses are blooming again after battling the dry heat. We have not had irrigation for over four months. Getting enough water to the roses, fruit trees, and other outdoor plants was challenging.

Glenda watched a big ‘ol jetliner fly over
Mud swirls off the grass in the river
Reflections in muddy water and gas balloon over powerline
Clear sky and muddy water.
Resa’s Wolf Tree at golden hour
Resa’s Wolf Tree at sunrise
Saw a Seahorse in negative space
Jake’s midday sit
Morning Glories
Peace Plant
Gwendolyn and Loki
Ducks shimmering in the late afternoon light
Rio Grande still running low
Puff The magic Dragon flew by at sunset
Coyote cloud stalked Resa’s Wolf Tree at sunset
Dawn
On my way to light a pilot, I saw a pilot light a balloon.
Spunk: “Hey Paparazzo! Hold your stupid camera level! I’m feeling The Moody Blues trying to hold on to this post!”
Paparazzo: “Oh! Are you feeling like ‘Ride My See-Saw’?”
Prickly Pear
Sunset
A big blue fish treading water wants to bite on your fingers, but you want to take it with you and throw it on the grill…
And you see U Bunny’s body, sitting framed beneath the cactus. And her footprints make you follow to see what you can see…
And when your fingers try to catch her, she sticks you with the cactus, carving deep green ripples in the tissues of your mind.
*adapted from “Tales Of Brave Ulysses” by Cream.
U Bunny = University Bunny.

Venus over Resa’s Wolf Tree at dawn
Corn Moon over lightpost at dawn
A wall of rain that never reached us
Lighting was getting close
Loki: “Impresive lightning, Paparazzo. Where’s the storm? Where’s the rain?”
Paparazzo: The storm and rain seems to have Petered out before it got to us.
Loki: “That Peter god, or whoever he is, needs to ‘Man Up’ and start peeing on us!”
Paparazzo: “I love your cat logic, Loki!’
