Madrone trees above Sitting Bull Falls, New Mexico, this photo was one of a number of regional photos featured in the Carlsbad Current-Argus newspaper of October 15, 2011
A 2012 requiem for Sitting Bull Falls as it is pictured here:
SO VERY, VERY SAD! FOUND OUT TODAY THAT BECAUSE OF THE 2010 FIRE, THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE WILL NOT HAVE MATURE TREES AGAIN FOR SEVERAL HUMAN GENERATIONS!
But some of the Texas madrone trees will, apparently, come back contrary to what I was told when visiting the falls on 16 June 2012:
From the Lincoln National Forest website: "Many of the Texas Madrone trees died from the fire, and some are resprouting from the roots indicating the wildland fire was not as severe down by the water’s edge. Only one Texas Madrone tree has re-sprouted from the trunk and branches which just might make it the ‘grandfather tree” in the area one day."

The old "link-outline" is still here but not being maintained (all its listings are now part of A, B and C above).
The four home pages for the four websites I combined into one in the 1990s still exist, they serve as 'chapter headings' deeper in the site, but are no longer being added to, so there is no longer a link here: all their content has been moved onto A and B above.
