Cactus Gardens and Vistas

Two things we never tire of seeing here in the Chihuahuan Desert: the endless variety of cacti arrangements
and the spectacular vistas that define the seemingly boundless expanse of this arid land.

And, boy, has it been arid! The National Weather Service recently listed parts of West Texas and southern New Mexico as areas of severe drought. Nevertheless, the cacti still survive, and the vistas are superlative.
