Evergreen
The Eastern Red Cedar is a native pyramidal shaped evergreen. This tree is drought tolerant and requires good drainage in order to truly thrive. The foliage is aromatic, needle-like, and is green year round. This durable tree has blue fruits (only on female), which attract birds. Deer resistant.
Juniperus virginiana - It is sometimes called pencil-cedar, because it was once the primary wood used to make pencils. It is the most widespread juniper in the eastern United States. This is growing along the edge of a neighbor's yard and is evergreen in Putnam County, Carmel,NY.
A mid-Winter walk through the woods of an upstate South Carolina Heritage Preserve. Lots of green but, as you might expect, not many wildflowers in bloom yet. Still a refreshing feeling to be outdoors again...

This is a stand of eastern red cedars. They are fairly spindly to the point of unhealthiness, but sometimes they look mystical, especially as the sun shines from the right. Several species of woodpecker, owl and other birds live here along with groundhogs, fox, and deer.
Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) on Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) - Independence Grove (near Libertyville, IL), Lake County Forest Preserve District - 10 October 2015
Online I couldn't find any information about when the concrete dam was built, but we can be nearly certain it's from the 20th century, right?
Meanwhile the granite is from 500+ million years ago, much older than the concrete.
-----------------------
In the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma, on February 15th, 2023, the dam of Burford Lake on Panther Creek, as viewed from the end of the Burford Lake Trail.
Panther Creek flows to West Cache Creek, which joins East Cache Creek to form Cache Creek, which flows to the Red River, which historically flowed to the Mississippi River, but now flows to the Atchafalaya River, which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.
The granite is Quanah Granite of the Wichita Granite Group, which was formed 533.24 to 515.6334 million years ago (per Macrostrat), in the Cambrian period.

Eastern Red Cedar...
While at the Eva Chandler Heritage Preserve in upstate South Carolina, we ventured out onto the granite bald for the view. At the edge was a small group of Eastern Red Cedar (actually a wide-spread member of the juniper family). In times past, people have used this little copse to make marriage proposals, celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, or just imtimate picnics. These trees are growing right on top of solid granite in just a few inches of accumulated soil. Spring is always a special time in the mountains, so I chose this scene for my daily Tree Parts image...

I think this tree is the Eastern Juniper, also known as the Eastern Red Cedar (even though it's not really a cedar). Seen on the banks of Lake Nockamixon.

Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) on Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) - Independence Grove (near Libertyville, IL), Lake County Forest Preserve District - 9 October 2010
I took this some time in the early 70s in (I think) Governor Dodge State Park near Dodgeville, Wisconsin. My younger brother is on the left in his big bell bottoms, my older brother, not yet into bells, is on the right. Taken with a Kodak 35 rangefinder, developed in my basement darkroom - obviously, I like grainy photos.
