This is the same desert that encompasses the Big Bend area, including the National Park and the State Park. The desert can be a very inhospitable place. Every time I travel there I marvel at how the plants and animals manage to survive and thrive. There are some, like this lone tree, that struggle. Our group was out photographing flowers in the Agua Fria area when we ran across this tree and we decided to photograph it. It&#8217;s not the most artistic photograph but it is representative of the area. The ground there was made of shale and I found many fossils. What a great place to explore. I plan on returning to the area the next time I travel to Big Bend.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12084\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12084\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170408-brewster-county-loop-ag01-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12084\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/lone-tree\/lone-tree-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/20170408-brewster-county-loop-ag01-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
