Oasis
The Chisos rising from the stark, unrefined desert floor, an example of nature's potency, offer a reprieve from civilization's often soul numbing cities. Here I can breath, feel strong and endure.

Morning Light Over The Chisos Mountains
I absolutely love exploring Big Bend National Park in the mornings. The sun is gentle on your skin and it lights up the desert vistas of West Texas perfectly.
