Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. OAK_030601_08.JPG: The brown spots in the trees are caused by bark beetles. Adult beetles burrow into the bark and lay eggs. At the same time, they release pheromones that tell other beetles that this tree is a good target and that attracts other beetles to the same tree. The larva that hatch eat the area below the bark, disrupting the flow of water, sap and nutrients up and down the tree. By the time the pine needles change color to reddish brown, the beetles are gone. There's been a drought in the area which makes the trees less able to defend themselves against these beetles. A healthy tree will immediately release resin that kills off the eggs and hole but drought-weary trees can't do this. These beetles and brown spots exist throughout this area of the country and they've made quite a few forests plaid. The park service policy on infestations is that they can't do much if the problem is natural. The beetles are native to the area and the drought isn't affected by human actions (although its made worst by the increasing human development of the area).

Wikipedia Description: Oak Creek Canyon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oak Creek Canyon is a 12 mile (20 km) long river gorge located along the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona located between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona. The canyon is often described as a smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon because of its scenic beauty. State Route 89A enters the canyon on its north end via a series of hairpin turns before traversing the bottom of the canyon for about 13 miles (20.8 kilometers) until the highway enters the town of Sedona. The Oak Creek Canyon-Sedona area is the second most popular tourist destination in Arizona, second only to the Grand Canyon.

2003 photos: Trips this year: Three-week trip this year out west, mostly in Utah. Equipment this year: I decided my Epson digital camera wasn't quite enough for what I wanted. Since I already had Compact Flash chips for it, I had to find another camera which used CF chips. That brought me to buy the Fujifilm S602 Zoom in March 2003. A great digital camera, I used it exclusively for an entire year. Number of photos taken this year: 68,000.
