West Texas Scenery – Cacti, Water and Oil Wells

We made a trip from San Antonio, to the Carrizo Springs area the other week. We spotted lots of cacti with yellow blooming flowers, a working windmill and some oil rigs. We stopped at a roadside park near the Nueces River as well, just to check it out. This video was made from some of the scenery that we found along Highway 85 between Big Wells and Carrizo Springs, out in West Texas. By the way, the opening scene features the yellow blooming Opuntia Cactus, which is the largest genus in the cactus family. You will recognize most by their classic “prickly pear” appearance.
