is just putting on flowering leaves. They are green
except at a distance the bunches blend into a field
of a greenish-yellow gray. The grass is not
found in the sandy washes and are sparse in
the upland areas where shrubs dominate the
scene. Some oaks (Quercus dumosa spp.) in a
stunted form are found mainly in the canyons
and upland areas - they are just leaving out
with fresh leaves. They are scrubby plants.
Jasuna trees are abundant, on the uplands and
to a lesser extent on the hills.
the N facing slopes of the canyon are heavily wooded
with Pinyon, Juniper and Scrub Oak - and the
wash broad and sandy with few rocks - with

granitic "falls" white sage (Salvia apiana)
is dominant - they are just sending up the tall verticle
flower stalks. The area is covered with many leaf
