Broken Cup

 photo IMG_7044brokencup_zps725eeb4f.jpg
Shards of a broken cup, found at an abandoned house, Southern Arizona

Broken cup will hold no more,
It has fallen to the floor,
Shattered into tiny bits,
And become the butt of wits!

Odd figurine outside Rosebud Vintage Bazaar.

Sunrise, Southern Arizona

When the sky is flaming,
And the clouds turn red;
Seven thousand blessings
Break upon your head.

Red Flag


View of Frankston beach on Port Phillip Bay.
As tiny as the red boating channel flag may be, it is still noticeable in this view.
Red glows.

Ruby Desert Plant

Ruby plant, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

Strange are the ways of the desert plants,
Some turn ruby, and some attract ants;
Keep your eyes open and you will see
Wonders that no human thought could be!

Discarded cigarette pack, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

Trashing up the desert
With discarded smokes,
Litterbugs are laughing
At their little jokes.
