This gives the Chisos and Davis Mountains much character to its landscape.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5354\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5354\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/20151205-BBNP-Flowers-024.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5354\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/gold-cobblestone\/bbnp-yellow-lichen\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/20151205-BBNP-Flowers-024.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
