every reflection exists because someone decided it should

Lajitas in Bloom Big Bend every reflection exists because someoneLajitas, Texas This photograph was made beneath Lajitas Mesa, in the small desert community of Lajitas in Big Bend. Prickly pear cactus were in full bloom, their flowers burning with yellow and orange against the muted tones of stone and scrub. The scene was simple and honest. It was photographed shortly before sunset, when the light begins to soften yet is still a bit harsh and the mesa behind the cactus starts to cast long, directional shadows.
