Mother Tree
Bears Ears National Monument, UT

This mature Ponderosa pine stands next to a small wash. Note all the pinecones that have fallen below the tree ready to seed the next generation. That likelihood is slim, however, as this tree is close to the lower limit of the species range due to both elevation and that it is at the edge of the sandstone drylands.
