Big Bend Literary Magazine - Bat Bombs Bloom

Bat Bombs Bloom by Tony Drewry

"I had a friend lay on the ground under this Havard agave with my flashlight pointing up to illuminate the bloom on a dark night in Marathon. While the shutter was open a bat flew by, unnoticed by either of us, but if you look closely, you can follow the trail of its flight from the bottom to the top of the image."

rAfter life as a Master Plumber turned expert beer consultant, Tony Drewry has spent the better part of the last ten years exploring in great depth the wild backcountry of Texas, Mexico, and the American Southwest, before landing in the Big Bend region of Far West Texas and Northern Mexico for an extended period. In this time, he's honed his photography while capturing some of the most beautiful scenery and nature that this world has to offer. While the adventures continue, he has begun to share visually some of his favorite captures across multiple mediums, and orally through spoken word and song. He's said that the Big Bend stole his heart at its first chance, but that was the beginning of much more. So stay tuned. His website is tonydrewry.myportfolio.com/.
