The video slide show on the DVD documents the natural beauty of the
El Paso area through more than 290 photos. It is an expanded version of
the CD-ROM and playable on TV or computer. El Paso, located in the center
of the Chihuahua Desert, is home to a large number of beautiful cacti.
Many different blooming cacti, other blooming plants, and fascinating animals
are shown together with some of the highlights of El Paso city. They are
testimony to the colorful and picturesque ambience of the El Paso area.
All photos were taken within the city limits of El Paso and show the plants
and animals in their natural habitat. The richness of the natural history
of El Paso is a treasure that is still under-appreciated and deserves more
attention and protection.

in El Paso. The music on the DVD was provided by the Coronado HS Orchestras
directed by Ida Steadman.
