Land of the Yucca by David Forks
Oil on panel, 8"x10"
This scene is from Dagger Flats in Big Bend National Park. The area is known for its' proliferation of Faxon Yucca. Occasionally they all bloom simultaneously and cover the horizon with magnificent aromatic flowers. They attract bees, humming birds and a multitude of insect varieties. Dagger Flats is far down a dirt road off the beaten trail in the north east portion of the park, rarely visited, when the Faxon bloom it is a jewel to behold.
