Glad you enjoyed the photos, fanman. That was our first trip to Big Bend National Park and far West Texas, as well. I can safely say you haven't fully experienced Texas if you haven't visited (and preferably stayed overnight in) Big Bend National Park. I would so like to return there... it's a beautiful place with a lot of history and abundant life -- desert life us city/country dwellers almost discount until we've been there.
I wish I could have taken a photo of the night sky out there. If it weren't for my tiredness each night after a day of hiking, and the bats that insisted on flying within 1 inch of my face as I sat outside in the wee hours, I could easily have spent all my nights there on a cot staring at the stars.
I never did fully document all 7 days of our trip to Big Bend, but here's the few days I managed to capture and transfer to the site:
