Janet, Was this picture taken in Arizona?. We enjoy those beautiful Carndinals against the intense blue sky of the Sonoran desert. I am heading there in about a week, can hardly wait. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a great spot for birding or just being there.
Hi Teresa! Wow, good eye. I took this picture at the Historic C.O.D. Ranch in Oracle, outside of Tucson. I attended a writing retreat and workshop there. The cardinals visited every morning; the sun was out, the sky was blue … but it was chilly, in the mountains! Glad you’re looking forward to your trip; I’m looking forward to it for you!
