One morning, I went on the trail inside the canyon. It was a little unnerving being there by myself. There are lots of Bear Aware signs and, with all of the grass gently swishing around me, I was watching closely for anything dark and furry :) I was very happy with that shot of Scoopy and the stars.The Choutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798787090141843431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-52606999942800293372018-03-12T19:56:53.168-07:002018-03-12T19:56:53.168-07:00Steven, your photos are stunning (great pano of th...Steven, your photos are stunning (great pano of the Starlight Theatre by Linda, too). After our visit in late December, Big Bend National Park went onto our "favorites" list, as well. <br />I enjoyed reading your musings about your photography process and what inspires you. How cool that you found the exact spot where Ansel Adams created the photograph that drew you to Big Bend NP in the first place! <br /><br />Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-78185781454526210182018-03-12T18:10:17.693-07:002018-03-12T18:10:17.693-07:00Great great awesome photos
