I am a northern snow boy and don't think I would want to live there but did thoroughly enjoy the Sonoran Desert. I spent one whole day completely alone at Saguaro Natl Park sharing my day with Cactus Wrens, Quail, and other wildlife. It was a perfect Feruary day and I will never forget it. Really enjoy painting it.<br />God bless and continue onGary Keimighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745695573558394342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027249626692153791.post-54704692985968383992009-04-30T20:52:00.000-07:002009-04-30T20:52:00.000-07:00Even when I owned a house, I never had a birdbath....Even when I owned a house, I never had a birdbath.
