Turk’s Head, a relatively small 8-segmented barrel cactus found throughout much of the Chihuahuan Desert. This one is just over a foot high.

Between a rock and a hard place! A couple of times I thought about making my way over there to stand on it. I’m still alive so obviously I didn’t!

Spotted this rock rattler in of all places—the rocks! Of course there’s plenty of rocks in Big Bend. Enough to satisfy the most discriminating rattlesnake. He didn’t look like he wanted to chat so I just snapped a picture & bid him adieu. I’ve come across many snakes in the backcountry. They don’t want to bite you any more than you want to bite them.
