Study Butte, Texas
2020-01-21
Right now I am between the national park and the state park having a real breakfast at a funky truck stop. Before I leave here are a few miscellaneous photos that I have not published yet.
Don’t you just love the patterns in the dried mud?
Another view of Santa Elena and the Rio Grande River
The starburst really adds to this scene. No photoshop used
Thanks for looking at my photos. I may be out of communication for the next few day, or I might not?

Really nice shots, Peter. Big Bend is a really interesting place to spend some time. Are you still shooting the Sony.
Yes I have a Sony A7r2 and my old A6000 with some pretty nice lens. Hope you and Mary are doing well. We sure do miss you guys at the club.
Keep an eye out for the Green Kingfisher (my favorite species that prefers rivers).
Apparently the Lower Rio Grande is where they’ve made a comeback and I think they are only found in the region where you are…

I saw a blue one in Singapore and this green one is a life list aspiration for me!!!
I did mot see one, but then I am not a very experienced birder.
Thanks, Peter
Hey Peter,
As always you are inspirational with your sense of adventure and keen eye.
Just watched a great episode of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown / series 12 – episode 5 Far West Texas.
Includes a bit of Big Bend and the towns and culture surrounding it both Texan and Mexican. Highly recommended viewing!
It all makes me tremendously excited for my trip in early March.
Cool Uncle John, I’ll look that episode up! I hope you have a blast out there. It’s on my life list.
