  A-1877. Photo Sta. No. 220. Retake of Photo No. 3074 originally taken by Griffiths about 1905. Mesquite has increased very noticeably. Ground cover appears lighter than in the early days and there has been an evident change in composition, some of the coarse grasses having replaced what was on the ground in 1902. (5x7) Sept. 1941.

  PS. 220. 07 March 2024, 2:10 PM. Facing north, Azimuth 0. Pasture 9. Elevation 1237 m. ISO 160, 35mm focal length, Canon 5D Mark II Digital Camera.  Witness, present, camera above. Pipes from old gate (photos 1905, 1941, 1950, 1951, 1984, and 1988) are on the ground to the left. Good chance that the mesquite in the foreground was present in the bottom right corner of the 1905 picture, but subsequent pictures through 1951 were taken from a point to the right of the 1905 position a looking farther left so that the mesquite was closer to the center, but since 1984 the photo was taken closer to the mesquite. If this is the same plant in the 1905 image, then this short mesquite is more than 120 years old in 2024. Also, the open grassy area in the right distance in front of the hill in clearly visible in the 1905 image. Mesquite alive with some 2023 leaves remaining, large top-killed mesquite from 1994 fire resulting resprouts are present. Calliandra leaves and flowers not yet emerged, and shrubby buckwheat and Krameria, velvet pod mimosa, catclaw acacia, small ocotillo in left background, cholla, and prickly pear present. Lehmann lovegrass dominant, and cottontop and black grama in open; also under mesquite find plains bristlegrass, cottontop, and bush muhly. Compared to 2018, more grass cover, mass and density; prickly pear is larger; less grass and less prickly pear, add cholla and ocotillo. M. McClaran photographer, A. Gorlier and M. Wallace assistants.
