To the west, the Rio Grande carves a quiet, essential path through the soil, while the nearby Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge acts as a sanctuary for the winged and the wild, shielding them from the reach of human industry. Five miles away, the surface of La Joya Lake catches the fading light, turning the color of hammered silver as the wind dies down to a whisper.
