I have so many photographs to share from my fall trip that I’ve opted for simple galleries instead of my usual text-heavy descriptions. In related news, this page could take several minutes to load so if you have other things to do today, please come back later to check on the progress. If you haven’t been to Big Bend National Park, fix that. It’s an amazing place.
Most web posts about national parks show the landscape. This post starts with the life forms, and what a fresh perspective it brings! I will show my child this page next time we go to another national park.
The few landscape shots at the bottom also happen to be professional grade.
Thank you so much. My father had talked up the flora and fauna for years, urging me to visit. He was not wrong. If your kid shows interest, I have to say that the nature section of the books for sale at most national parks are amazing. If I didn’t have full luggage already I would have hoarded.
You captured the diversity beautifully.
Albeit a super small fraction of the diversity. I would love to go back in the summer and spring sometime.
Isn’t it an amazing place?!? Great birding and interesting history, too. So glad you got to experience it! (You’ll have to get over to the Big Thicket sometime, too. It doesn’t have any of the arresting vistas, but for anyone that enjoys small things, you’ll be well occupied.
Yes, amazing place. Was there with a birder but my lens never had the reach to even see what he was talking about. As for Big Thicket, I’d never heard of it but just spent a few minutes searching on the web for it. Has carnivorous plants, among other draws. Thanks for the tip!
