PS. 237. 06 March 2019. 1:19 pm. Facing northwest, Azimuth 335. Pasture 8. Elevation 1255 m. ISO 160, 35mm focal length, Canon 5D Mark II Digital Camera. Witness present, camera above. Mesquite alive, Calliandra, ocotillo, Zinnia, shrubby buckwheat, 2 velvet pod mimosa midground left. Zinnia on the distant hill. Rainbow cactus under mesquite in distance left of center, and 2 agave plants one in flower. In foreground, Lehmann lovegrass dominant, some sideoats grama, and Setaria under mesquite, elsewhere cane beardgrass, and curly mesquite (Hilaria). On far hill, the gray color is from soil surface and rocks; also find black grama, sprucetop grama, fluffgrass, tanglehead and Krameria on hill. Trees present in 1948 still present today and dating trees is possible from older photos-particularly foreground mesquite that was <30 cm tall in 1950 photo. Compared to 2013, no prickly pear plants, no cottontop, less grass in foreground and hill in background, ocotillo in distant left partially dead, and an agave has flowered. M. McClaran photographer, A. Gorlier assistant.
