Mountain Mahogany
These were photographed along the south rim of the Grand Canyon. I had no idea when I photographed them what they were but have since discovered, I think, that they are the seeds of Mountain Mahogany or Ironwood. If anyone knows better I would appreciate their input.
Manzanita
Photographed near Oak Flat in Yosemite National Park, this is the Common Manzanita, a shrub often used for landscaping in the dry southwest.
Quaking Aspen
The first full day of our hiking trip to the Colorado Rockies was spent exploring the area. The days was overcast and wet but we hiked some short trails. This is a Quaking Aspen trunk with the trails of water drops making patterns on the bark.
Pacific Madrone Flowers
These are the flowers of the Pacific Madrone, photographed in Sharpe Park on Washington's Pacific coast.
White Yarrow
These are the leaves of a Yarrow, probably White Yarrow, Achillea millefolium. They had caught the sunlight and my attention but are a long way from blooming. They were photographed at Fishtrap Lake in the channeled scablands of eastern Washington.
Sagebrush Leaves.
These are the old leaves of a Sagebrush that has not yet started to produce new growth: photographed at Hog Lake in eastern Washington.
Texas Madrone
Photographed along the Mckittrick Canyon trail in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, this photo shows all the wonderful colors and features of the Texas Madrone, a tree in the heather family.
Texas Madrone
Texas Madrone, Arbutus xalapensis, is in the heather family. It grows to about nine meters and is one of our favorite trees for its peeling bark, pink and green wood and beautiful flowers in the spring. It grows from Central America through the southwestern USA and is found in canyons, mountains to 3000 meters, rocky plains and oak woodlands. These examples were photographed along the Mckittrick Canyon trail in Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
Havard's Agave
This close-up of a Havard's Agave plant was taken along the McKittrick Canyon trail in Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas.
