    Big Welcome:jiggy::jiggy: I love newbies. You are now in the swap. Feel free to ask any specific questions. It is pretty hard to do anything wrong here. We are a very inclusive community and supportive of all artists.:yes:
     
    All done and all based on photos I've taken, except the oranges. That's just my memory from many years of picking oranges from my mom's backyard orange tree. I sure miss being able to pick a fresh orange off the tree in February! I'll send them out in tomorrow's mail; I still have your address, Sara, unless you've moved?

    Love your art, aginghippychic! You know, I've never seen a cardinal in real life - they've never made it to the west coast - and I tend to think of them as sort of like a unicorn, fairytale creatures made up and painted red to appear on winter art. It's my goal in life to someday see a real, live cardinal. :twitcy:
     
    I hadn't seen a cardinal until I moved to Pennsylvania. It is sort of like a Blue Jay - not seen on the west coast - though I did see Stellar Jays in California.
    When I first saw a cardinal here I was so excited and I pointed it out to my kids at the time. Poor Jeff, my oldest, replied "Just another brown bird". He is colorblind and can't see the red of a cardinal. He also doesn't see much of a rainbow.
     
    I've seen plenty of Stellar Jays, Jo, and I've always assumed a cardinal was like that, only red, not blue. I've been to PA and the east lots of times, but I've never seen a cardinal whenever I've been there. When does one expect to see them? I've been there in summer and late autumn.
