Before Monsoon
Sue & Nikki 5/2009


Rolling gray, tumbling, blundering, devouring all across the plains
Over the petroglyphs, under rocks, and deadwood - through the humidity and timidity of the fields and desolate fauna, dried and dire and extracted, ripped and pulled, torn……..

She was pulling and tugging, tearing the devils’ lettuce, fiddle plant, scorpion weeds – beautiful, dangerous, noxious, poison pulled from the core of the mother – alongside healing sage and daisies and bugs beautiful and bold and ugly and sinful, stinging and nasty, mean and mein in spirit, with dust lifting and blowing and settling and flying – manically; waiting for the blessing to follow….

Pelting, falling, dripping, deluge, wanted and wanting – loving, nurturing, brutalizing and destroying, bringing buoyancy and demise – whichever the favor or folley…..

My ancient, arid and mysterious seabed.

Here Are My Friends Pattie & Dennis Taylor; They're Musicians Too! Plus, The Owl That Visited Their Yard.

Pattie sings opera & other styles as well, and Dennis plays guitar and sings contemporary music, they work together as an acoustic duo.

Also....

Here are photos of the "owl that came-a-visiting!" Pattie was able to take these pictures by patiently waiting on a lawnchair in their backyard. It was a windy day and as you can see, the owls' "horns" were quite a flutter! Cudos to Pattie for such great shots!

Dennis took the portrait of both he and Pattie.

The Taylor's live here in New Mexico, close to Dan & I.

It's about a week later and the babies are growing like mad.

They will be out of their nest before we know it!
