A Few from Big Bend National Park
My wife and I just got back from a week-long stay in Big Bend National Park. I have tons of images to cull and edit, but here are a few that I've already edited. Luckily, we were there when the desert was in bloom, so there were tons of cactus blossoms and desert flowers to photograph. All images were taken with a Sony a6500 and are 2400 pixels on the long end. Thanks for looking!
