Looking at the Stebbins landscape this September - a hillside of gray pines, dead and possibly still dying; the dry creekbed and up the slope. Beauty everywhere at the end of the summer. The dying gray pines are a natural part of the chaparral fire cycle - they are killed off in fires but readily recolonize in periods between fires. #stebbinscoldcanyon #ucnaturalreserve #ecoreportage #firecycle #fireecology #fireecosystem #graypine #pinussabiniana #grayhairstreak #strymonmelinus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qk5D5AVEJ/?igshid=1m9r88ven7ibq
