El Nino in Big Bend
This is an image I took last year on a tour of Dagger Flats. A storm came up behind us and I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the rainbow over the bluebonnets.

Leaf Pile with a View
I was near the Rio Grande Village in January when the leaves were almost gone from the trees. Not a typical scene you think of when envisioning Big Bend, but still a beautiful sight.
