I'm so glad you like my desert banner! Many thanks to those of you who took the time to leave comments, @gg5, @Legalily, @Fleur569, @daylilydreams, @crawgarden, @Whitebeard, @LizDTM, @MargieNY, @mcash70, @Frenchy21, @GaNinFl, and @cliftoncat! Big thanks for the acorn tips from @Fleur569 and @cliftoncat. Thank you all for the thumbs up!
When I'm in Arizona my favorite place is the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. This photo was taken there when it was near sunset. I was afraid the lighting wouldn't be good, but it worked out.
