Frozen Poses in Big Bend

Big Bend National Park
​

 

The first time I was in Big Bend it was April and I did some posing with the wildlife. It was also about 100 degrees! In this photo I look like I'm posing with frozen toothpicks!

Cactus
​

 

But it's January now and even the cactus is coated in a layer of ice! It's very tricky climbing around in a jungle of icy  points!

Tiny Leaves

I liked this plant better.  It had tiny leaves instead of spikes.  But the ice was beginning to melt and things were getting slippery.

You can see the blurry image of a mountain behind me.  It was foggy and gray and sort of spooky in Big Bend!

​More Spikes
​

 

I decided to go for one more spike adventure before getting in the warm car.

This one looked like a dangerous cucumber!

The ice actually made it easier to climb around on the spike clusters.  I wish I'd had a small toboggan to ride down some of these icy slopes!  

This was one of my damper adventures.
