Description

A pond of calm reflecting water stands in a normally dry creek bed near Fort Davis, Texas, USA, in the Davis Mountains. Long-term drought has given way to recent torrential rainfall. The might of water has been felt in the area with erosion, damage, and sadly even death, but life will spring forth in the Chihuahuan Desert as plants and animals will thrive. It is always nice to stop and reflect on life and enjoy the variety of beauty one can find in the wilderness.
The Davis Mountains host a wide variety of flora and fauna. With historic Fort Davis, McDonald Observatory, and the Hobby Eberly Telescope there is much to see and do in the area.

"As one travels west on I-10 or I-20, out of the vast desert, on the horizon, slowly rises the purple mass of the Davis Mountains, the largest mountain chain entirely within Texas. Elevations range from 3,500 to 8,000 feet as they rise above the Chihuahuan desert. The mild climate and volcanic soils support a most biologically diverse selection of mountain flora and fauna.

The mountains receive more rain than the surrounding Trans-Pecos area and therefore have vegetation not found in the desert lowlands, such as pi¤on pine, black cherry, alligator juniper, live and dwarf gray oak, yellow and limber pine and the unusual and rare Madrone tree. The fall colors truly rival the best of northern and eastern states."
