Sunshine




















Hello. :)  Here are some snapshots from a walk in the canyon last week where I found the creek flowing, lots of bird and lizard activity and some cacti and ocotillos in bloom.  I hope you're having a great week!

    Gorgeous! I can hardly believe how beautifully you captured the hummer at the ocotillo...wow. And, of course, you have a nice one of one of my favorite birds though I've yet to see it in the wild...the P-something (desert cardinal...I need to remember how to spell that and figure out how to pronounce it! LOL)

    Beautiful walk. I loved the bird at the top of the saguaro. Do you know what kind of bird it was?

    Darla and Annie, the bird on top of the saguaro is a Pyrrhuloxia.

    There is also plenty of sunshine here as well Diane. The sun brightens up the landscape and I can see it doing the same to where you are. Lovely pictures and enjoy the sun ;-)
