Chisos Mountains of Big Bend

Here is one from the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend. It was mid morning on my way into the park and getting to the Chisos close to lunch I was on my way to stop at the lodge and a plate of enchiladas before heading out to the campground on the far side of the park. As I drove up into the mountains, I saw this Agave stalk and had to stop for a picture.

See more from that morning on my blog-which I am updating the look on a little.

Nice place to stop for a photo, Darren! Great sky and interesting terrain. Loved the West Texas Mustangs image in your gallery as well...

Thanks Bill.

I have been trying some of the new look items in Smugmug to do a revamp of how my site looks. It is still not as simple as Blogger is but after several hours I got it to do most of what I wanted.

That mustang image was pure luck. I had tripod set up to photograph rocks and they walked up and would not leave me alone. Could not move tripod fast enough so this was a point and shoot shot.

Very nice Darren. I always like foreground objects, and you picked a good one. My eye still travels back through the scrub, and onto the distant escarpments. Great DOF.

Does look like there is a lot of diverse terrain and character to be found thereabouts ... probably the odd rattlesnake too!

Darren, great sharpness in this photo, Big Bend is is on my bucket list.
