You're welcome! So many of those iron and manganese-stained sandstone layers provide contrasts against the greens of poplars, pines, and sage. The distant mountain is the Henry Range with the high point, Mt Pennell, at 11,371 ft. There are few roads into that area. Β

This is beautiful. I am noticing dead tree carasses, similar to the Frazier Fir trees being killedΒ on Clingman's Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains. Are these treesperishing at the jaws ofΒ the Adelgids, as are the ones here in the East?

The pine beetle has done a number on conifers throughout the region and as the bark sheds you can see larvae trails between the bark layer and inner wood. If there were enough rain, the beetle larvae would probably succumb to a flow of viscous sap by drowning. All we need is rain or a sterile strain of beetle like the Dept. of Agriculture did to reduce the screwworm fly populations.

Pine beetles are common in the Smokies and are part of the ecology of the thicketts. There are enough natural predators such as the red crested woodpecker which keep them in balance. In the high desert where you are, things are much less resiliant and forgiving...
