Faded Bloom
Faded Agave Havardiana bloom in Big Bend National Park spotted near the South Rim trail. Wonderful example of where there's beauty even in death. There is something big about this photo and the way that the plant looms against a vast and empty sky.

Late Night Sojurn to Chisos Mountains Lodge
Ascending into the Chisos Mountains at about 2:00 a.m., I decided to try this long exposure shot. My biggest fear wasn’t approaching cars, but silent predators who might think I was road-kill.

The Iconic Window After Sunset
Following a busy day in Big Bend, I was late getting to the right spot near the Chisos Mountains Lodge for this shot, but I was still lucky enough to catch nature’s portraiture right after sunset.

Approaching Chisos
We took this photo early in the morning as we drove to Chisos to begin the South Rim hike. There was beautiful light on the morning drive, and we just had to stop for a photo.
