Our first field site was in southwest Texas, at Indio Ranch | Here, the wildlife greeted us at the door | ||
We look relaxed and rested here, but . . . . . . . | . . . . then the field work began. | ||
Typical plants included the creosote bushes (background), prickly-pear cactus, and ocotillo. | Two cicadas can be seen at the top of one of the ocotillo branches. | Sotol | |
Sunsets in the desert can be very pretty. |
