Amistad Reservoir forms on the U.S. /Mexico border from a dammed section of the Rio Grande River just west of Del Rio. The Devils River, Pecos River, and several creeks also feed directly into the reservoir.

Good shots of what was once called Escobaria bella, but is just a western form of what I still call Escobaria runyonii (for various reasons).
