Scenes From Walks In The Past - Shadscale AKA Shadscale Saltbush (Atriplex confertifolia) This sort of fluffy looking bush, (well to my eyes anyway), is called Shadscale. I first noticed it when I was photographing the “Agua Fria Monolith,” (my name for that large black object). It looked fluffier than other spiny bushes so I decided to look into it. I got the identification from iNaturalist. “Shadscale saltbush provides forage and cover for wildlife in arid environments. A small number of leaves are shed in the fall, but the majority of leaves remain during the winter providing a valuable source of food when little else is available (Holmgren et al. 2012). The fruit and leaves are browsed by deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, rodents, jackrabbits and birds. Small mammals and reptiles use the spiny shrubs for cover from predators and the sun.” - United States Department Of Agriculture #Shadscale #ShadscaleSaltbush #AtriplexConfertifolia #HighDesertFlora #WildlifeCover #Forage (at Agua Fria, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxh2auvdT9/?utm_medium=tumblr
High Desert Flora - La Cieneguilla, New Mexico Featuring lots of Chamisa/Rabbitbrush (the yellow flowered plant). The high desert has a unique beauty all its own. It is also not barren sand as many envision a desert but full of plants an animals that have adapted to the altitude, sporadic precipitation and seasonal variations. This is along a trail that leads to petroglyphs. #HighDesert #NewMexicoHighDesert #Chamisa #Rabbitbrush #HighDesertFlora #PhotoByJeriRae (at La Cieneguilla Petroglyphs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXTkXLF2D_/?igshid=563ee463umf8
High Desert Flora - taken a year ago at La Cieneguilla Petroglyphs near Santa Fe. Last year we had more rain during the monsoon season so the desert plants and trees/shrubs were really growing. #HighDesertFlora #HighDesert #LaCieneguilla #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU0r9gFL1T/?igshid=1k9ffoodelirg
