Description
The famous 8 mile loop at Saguaro National Park, in Tucson, Arizona, is one awesome drive. A road to splendor. The rolling hills at the foot of the Rincon Mountains are adorned with spring wildflowers. It is a favorite for sightseers, cyclists, joggers and more.
I have biked this several times and it is breathtaking in its beauty. The Sonoran Desert is so diverse, beautiful, and unique in all the world!

How very beautiful, like a golden carpet of flowers. Now I see what you mean by yellow being the predominant color in Spring. Lovely. like/fav
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Carol, Thank you so much. So nice to hear from you! The yellow lasts for a few weeks then the dry hot part of our summer starts and lasts until the monsoon rains begin in July!

Jerry, as a newcomer to this art world, I was delighted to see your comment. I have not attempted to sell my art before, this is a new adventure in my life, since I only began to paint about five years ago. I fell in love with oil painting and I try to find subject matter that makes mesmile!.
Jerry Bokowski replied:
