In the News

Three current news stories that loom large in my mind. First "The Wall" that continues to be talked about. The background is a scene from Big Bend National Park, Texas. The Rio Grande emerges meekly from Santa Elena Canyon. The cliff on left is Mexico, the right one, in the United States. Second, the palm trees represent the destruction of recent hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Lastly, today NASA's Cassini spacecraft took a death plunge into Saturn which it so brilliantly photographed for the last 13 years in orbit.

  1. This is a very nice brought together story Angie. How beautiful nature looks, there's always the dark side of it.

  2. Beautiful composition and great color! I've been to Big Bend three, maybe four, times and have had marvelous encounters there with Mother Nature. When my husband Bob and I went to Santa Elena Canyon, we saw a gorgeous pyrrholoxia (desert cardinal) in spiny vegetation just like what the pictured bird is in. Thanks for the memory, Angie!
