Caption | Something akin to a dwarf papelillo, this Baja desert paperbark tree is not much bigger than a shrub though the wide-angle lens, low perspective and the distant cacti make it appear larger than life. The swarming sandflies were extremely voracious at sunset but the shot was worth all the bites and frantic dancing and swatting. Amortajada, Sea of Cortes, Baja California, Mexico. |
