The Sonora Desert sounds like a place to look but not to eat nearby...I have had some bad lucky with AZ, NM, and certain others eggs racheros....they didn't stay with me long...so next time, if I live long enough, I go to the desert or down SW somewhere...I shall take my expensive bottled water..and perhaps some MRE's..They just taste bad....but I am sure they are made of glue..nothing there to hurt my image taking:-0)
Did I say good shot:=-)?

Hi Davidson,
Outstanding shot of this beautiful looking wildflower. Such bright and gorgeous colour and sharpness. The natural lighting gives it a fabulous glow and it stands out from the habitat so nicely. Must be such a wonderful scene to see this growing everywhere and truning the place red. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.
