Head Turning Graffiti | Another Riddle | September

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Rio

I am getting ready for September. Since Tucson is not one of the cities included in our rethink 9/11 campaign (The ReThink911 ads will appear in the following cities ReThink911 through the month of September, reaching tens of millions of people.)  I am designing my own campaign with graffiti on my car. So far it is turning heads and getting the information out, inexpensively. Check pictures below:

I also have a short poem for you, and a question:

Remember! Remember!

September 11,

Deceit, Treason, and more. . .

Systemic War, Ongoing Death

Three Thousand Blown away.

Remember September “O” One.

My question is: Taking the first two words as a hint, from where did I get my inspiration for this poem?  Can you tell?

In Memory | The Sycamore Ranch | Riverbend Hotsprings in T or C

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Rio

My visit to the Sycamore Ranch was sad; my friends (the owners) had passed away. The place was deserted, most buildings stood in neglect, with broken windows and torn walls, battened down. The trail to the Sacred Grove had disappeared, but the trees stood tall. There was an offering at the roots of one of them, and a wind chime with a little fairy in another. I could feel my friends’ presence, and I took some time to say goodbye.

My best friend in the Sacred Grove.

From a distance 

In memory! The vegetable garden is gone, but the tree in the middle remains. This tree appeared to Dyan as a sapling, after she wished for it.

Riverbend Hotsprings in Truth or Consequences

The hostel is no more in T or C. The owners closed it and reopened as the Riverbend Hot  Springs. I used to help them out also, so it was good to see them doing well.

My favorite tub, next to the Rio Grande; there is a stairwell to it.

Lee and Sylvia, the proud owners; they were friends of the Sycamore Ranch.

The Road to Sedona, AZ | Camp | A City of Ants | Coyotes

Posted on July 12, 2012 by Rio

The road to Sedona

Red Rock State Park

From Posse Park, Sedona

A view from a hilltop at one of my camps.

The coyotes visit at night. They yelp and carry on, then their leader talks to them keeping a rhythm, a definite cadence that changes at times. And they leave.

Rock Compasss on hilltop, there is a red rock at each of the cardinal points. I don’t know who crafted it.

A City of Ants at the hilltop: The Entrance

Did you know? Some species of ants herd and keep aphids for their “milky secretions” just like humans do with cows, and some species farm mushrooms.

A closer look

And Red Rock Park
