  5. Love the Arizona picture…looks so serene. Did you add that little black bird to your signature on that second one or is it a sculpture that coincided with your signature?

  7. Beautiful artwork of birds. The ones on the ranch wall look like curlews, but I don’t think you have them there, so just similar. If your last photo is home, it’s very peaceful.

    1. Thank you, Karen! I’m not sure what they are, a waterfowl of some sort, look like sandpipers. Not home yet, we drive out in the a.m. This was the sunrise this morning in Scottsdale, Arizona. Then it rained all day!

    1. Thank you, Graham, I had to capture the great geometry of the walls. I love walking through the preserve. This place is where I spotted the bald eagle with the solar tag on its back last time we visited. I spied the Vermillion flycatcher there a few days ago.
