ReplyDeleteGood job on our Arizona Wildflowers. I also like the purple one from Colorado.
Tucson Ted
Thanks Ted:
ReplyDeleteWe're staying in Michigan these past few winters, so I had to add some color to our months of B & W.
Enjoy AZ. We had minus eight degrees yesterday, but life is good.

These are really beautiful, FN, thanks once again for a job well done. I wish I was in AZ these days. Life is good in MI as well.

ReplyDeleteFN appreciates your gracious comments.
I need more loyal "Followers" like you. Can you send me some?
Make a plan now to visit AZ within the next year.
Your Friend,

FN, my favorite region to move/retire would be the South West. That's the most beautiful land (besides Michigan, of course) in the world.

ReplyDeleteWhen we come to visit you in Holand, we can recommend the best of the southwest for you to visit or to retire in. We are very familiar with AZ, NM, and UT.
