While tromping through the snow looking for Prairie Crocus flowers - see yesterday's post - I kept my eyes peeled for other interesting photo ops. There was a surprising amount of colour evident, from the Juniper cones seen here to lichens on glacial erratics, some of which may eventually make it into this Photostream. Every season has its charm, and often the seasons of transition, spring and fall, are the most dynamic - and therefore the most fun - to shoot.

We spent a spectacular day hiking among these buttes and rolling sand hills. The exposed, dead roots in the foreground are Creeping Juniper, a prostrate evergreen shrub that is common in our area. You can see the living plants growing in clusters throughout this photo, along with rabbitbrush and native grass that - unfortunately - I didn't take time to identify. It may be Northern Wheat Grass (a wild guess).
The shattered rock appears to be ironstone, perhaps the remnants of a concretion - I'm full of wild guesses today, but I have seen ironstone concretions in this national park. When dinosaurs roamed, this entire area was a vast, shallow seabed, so conditions were favourable for the development of concretions.
Botanical and geological specifics aside, the dispersal pattern of these rock fragments led me to this composition. Patterns out of chaos, especially in a primal landscape, always pull me in.

A simple abstraction on a winter hoarfrost morning a decade ago. I was shooting with my first full frame sensor camera, the Nikon D800; I'd had it for a month and was enthralled with the detail it could deliver.
Although I do my share of complaining about winter - mainly that it goes on too long - its graphic qualities are amazing. In any other season, this shot would not be possible. Hidden under the snow are dry, brittle, broken grasses, leaf debris, pebbles including broken shale from the prehistoric, inland Bearpaw Sea, bits of windblown fluff including feathers and dandelion-like seeds, and more of the juniper roots themselves: in short, a riot of shapes in a chaotic jumble. Oh, and double the confusion by adding the shadow cast by each of these objects on a sunny day.
Instead, all of that is covered up and smoothed over by the snowy cloak of early winter. Note that early winter - December - is when I tend to get my best winter photos. There is a tapering off of enthusiasm as it grinds into January and February.
I don't recall whether I saw the potential for black and white while setting up this shot. I used my tripod to guarantee sharpness and give myself full freedom of f-stop and shutter speed (as with the two previous images in this set).

I liked the way the two ancient, exposed roots of Creeping Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis) led my eye to a scattering of Prairie Rose (Rosa arkansana). Nothing on the ground in front of me cried out for an obvious photo op; there's no calendar shot here or anything to make a casual observer go "Wow!" And yet... and yet... somehow, the elements fell together for me in a way I really like, and at this point in my photography career that's all I really care about. A simple composition. No frills.
This is the prairie turf I traverse at all times of year, with variations. Sometimes I find myself slipping and sliding on bentonite clay. In places I find sandstone, mudstone, ironstone. I love the textures of cracked soil or mud along the river valley in the heat of summer, and I even love the snowdrifts of winter. More or less. (I would say that after four months of winter, I enjoy them less than more...) This entire area once lay beneath a shallow inland sea, and the badlands that have been exposed via water erosion (mostly via glacial meltoff at the end of the last Ice Age) are late Cretaceous deposits known as the Bearpaw Shale, or Bearpaw Formation.

The rather scruffy upper end of our garden in Spring 2008.
We were in the midst here of changing the top end of our garden from an unkempt bare patch to a terrace with borders. The Valrosa Cabin workshop (upper R) was quite new (2007) and here we are are just moving things into it after we'd painted the inside, put in the floor-covering and fitted the shelving. The nearer stone paths had just been realigned, and the block path to the cabin was also new. These were all the first steps in the plan for this part of the garden. The untidy area in front of the cabin had become a temporary dumping area for garden materials during the construction work, but was soon to become our upper terrace.
NOTE ON THE GARDEN
The garden was very plain and bare when we arrived in 1985. We have been developing the design gradually since then, but not from a single pre-planned conception. Eventually we developed the overall shape, with a 'winding river' effect made by the lawns and path (though only the upper end of this is shown in this view). The shapes of the rockeries, planting and other features are based on the way a small stream winds between 'interlocking spurs' in hilly terrain. We did all the planting, and I built many of the features. For further history of our garden, see set description for 'OUR BACK GARDEN'

Features
- Borders - on each side of the nearer part of the garden path and being re-done following the realignment of the path. Border on L has been reshaped and is being dug over and topped up with more soil. Border on R will become extension of Upper (Railway) Rockery and replanted.
- Decking - removable decking 'bridge' (recently completed by Acer Landscapes) over Middle Section of Garden Railway, centre R. Ideally we'd have been able to make this a fixed bridge in stone but this would have meant having a step-up here in order to give full clearance for the trains.
- Garden Railway (G-scale) - Part of the Middle Section is visible here bottom L, laid on a temporary trackbase of loose cellular concrete blocks and awaiting realignment. Part of the Upper Loop is visible centre R on the Upper (Railway) Rockery. This is a 45mm gauge G-Scale layout using Märklin-LGB track, parts and rolling stock, with my own garden-sized civil engineering.
- Path (1) - reclaimed York stone laid in 'crazy' style. L branch is a recent realignment of an older path. R branch is a new section of path, part of our scheme to give step-free access from the house to the Upper Terrace in spite of the garden gradient. Both these bits of path had just been laid by Acer Landscapes the previous autumn (2007).
- Path (2) - concrete block paving with treated wooden edging, recently (2007) laid by Acer Landscapes. This section (centre R) is the uppermost part of our main garden path and leads to steps of Valrosa Cabin in background.
- Temple of Juno garden shed - L, with shingled roof and white columns supporting portico, built by me in sections out of reclaimed timber ("Rosen Wanted") at a previous house, brought here and extended with portico. I made the columns made from a flag pole. Steve Cruse (joiner) hung the doors (architectural salvage) and put on the cladding. Doors and portico awaiting paint.
- Upper Rockery (Railway Rockery) - lower R, planted with alpines, dwarf shrubs and trees including conifers, also the base for the Upper Loop of Garden Railway. Rockery built myself of various kinds of stone in simulated geological structure (not visible here).
- Valrosa Cabin workshop - upper R, fully insulated, built for us the previous year by Acer Landscapes. Although completed, we had to paint the inside and put floor covering in, before we could fit it out and move in (as we are doing here).
Plants
- Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Kosteri' - a dwarf Hinoki cypress - young tree in foreground, front R.
- Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Plumosa Nana' - a dwarf Sawara cypress, lower R by path.
- Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa' - a form of Sawara cypress, centre L immediately in front of Temple of Juno portico.
- Cotoneaster frigidus - upper L.
- Juniperus horizontalis - prostrate juniper, R, by Upper Loop of Garden Railway.
- Picea glauca var. albertiana 'Conica' - dwarf white spruce, on R of decking section.
OTHER DETAILS (also noted on photo)
- 'Banks Cabinet' drawers (ex-NHM - "Rosen Wanted") - centre R, stacked up during transfer from house, and about to be moved into Valrosa Cabin behind.

The upper end of our garden, with its new Upper Terrace, just completed.
Jill is sitting at our new garden table in front of the Valrosa Cabin (workshop). Compare this view with the same area five months earlier. All the visible construction, including the cabin, was done for us by Acer Landscapes. The overall scheme was our own with advice from Acer. The areas of bare soil are new borders waiting to be planted.

Made a 2nd visit to UT Gardens Knoxville today. I brought my Sigma 19mm f2.8 EX DN lens with variable ND filter and my 3 Legged Thing Punks Corey tripod to get long exposures of the Koi ponds. I also brought my Nikon 55mm Macro lens to get detailed close-ups of the flowers. And I also brought my DJI drone (recorded some video and captured a panorama ) and Xiaomi Yi Action Cam (got video riding Downtown through World's Fair Park ) too!

Fassett's Juniper is a low growing juniper in the Missouri Breaks area of central Montana, including in the CMR Wildlife Refuge, which looks like a hybrid between the tree Juniperus scopulorum, which is common in this area, and the creeping Juniperus horizontalis, which is not so common in this area. This shrubby juniper has branch ends that curve upward rather than creep along at ground level, like what would be expected of Juniperus horizontalis. This site lies within the Wyoming big sagebrush steppe north of Fourchette Bay and west of Reynolds Road in southern Phillips County Montana.
Creeping juniper is found mostly on the west facing slopes of Burke Park, along with Rocky Mountain and common juniper. This site lies on the west facing slopes towards the south end of Burke Park where the trail descends to South Church Avenue in the vicinity of Martel Construction, Bozeman, Montana.
Witches Broom on Juniperus horizontalis 'Creeping Juniper', This is not uncommon on Junipers in our area. The needles form a ball like growth that will eventually die. A Witch's broom is a disease or deformity in a woody plant, typically a tree or shrub, where the natural structure of the plant is changed. A dense mass of shoots grow from a single point, with the resulting structure resembling a broom or a bird's nest. Witch's broom growth may last several years and can be caused by many different types of organisms, such as fungi, insects, mistletoe, mites, nematodes, and viruses, Erlton-Roxboro Natural Area, Cypress Family, Cupressaceae, 2008 25 Jul_2122acr

This site lies within the Wyoming big sagebrush steppe north of Fourchette Bay and west of Reynolds Road in southern Phillips County Montana.
Juniperus horizontalis is abundant along the west facing slopes of Burke Park where it co-occurs with Rocky Mountain juniper and common juniper. This site lies along the trail leading from Church Street in the vicinity of Martel Construction to the Burke Park ridgeline, Bozeman, Montana.
A 'Witches Broom' on Juniperus horizontalis 'Creeping Juniper', Edworthy Park (Upper level), Cypress Family, Cupressaceae,
The 'Witches Broom' is caused by: "Cedar apple rust, which is caused by the fungus Gymnosporangium, which needs juniper plants and certain Rose family plants (such as saskatoons, hawthorns, and in some cases, apples) to complete its life cycle. On junipers, the disease appears as woody, spherical galls. In the spring (early May), brown, horn-like projections called "telia" grow out of the woody galls. During wet weather, the telia absorb water, swell up immensely, and become orange and gelatinous. At this stage the disease emits spores that infect the Rose family plants to cause the bright orange spots. The orange spots will eventually produce their own horn-like structures called "aecia" on the fruit and underside of the leaves; from the aecia, spores are produced that re-infect the junipers in the late summer. The disease must pass from junipers to Rose family plants to junipers again; it cannot spread between Rose family plants." Quote from Todd Kabaluk, University of Saskatchewan.
When we found this it had been raining all night and was still raining. 2008 21 May_0554acr
Most of the junipers on the hillside are males but a few are females which give us some color. Female plant with last year's bluish berry-like cones, Elbow River in Britannia, Cypress Family, Cupressaceae, 2008 03 Apr_0026acr
This is taken in the low dunes at Point Betsie, Benzie County, Michigan. The common name of the Bearberry is repeated in Greek and Latin in the generic name and the specific epithet. I've always loved the creeping juniper -- such an unusual habit for a species in a genus that is usually represented by trees and upright shrubs.

Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode' (Iseli Nursery, 1982) Photo: F.D.Richards, SE Michigan, 3/2021 - Intermediate Creeping Juniper, joo-NIP-ur-us hore-ih-zun -TAY-liss, Size at 10 years: 4inx4’, Creeping yellow, very close to the ground., USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed R1 for 11.8 YEARS (Gee). Planted in 2009.
American Conifer Society: Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode' is a creeping, flat, low-growing, coniferous, evergreen shrub which features brilliant gold foliage changing to a golden bronze in winter. Grown primarily as a ground cover, the soft, feathery, scale-like foliage of this unique cultivar will eventually spread 8-10' (2.4 x 3 m) but will only rise 4" (.1 m) off the ground. Creeping branches root as they grow along the ground. Fleshy seed cones (berries) are infrequently produced. Species is commonly called creeping juniper.
Prostrate, slow grower. From iseli nursery in OR. Planted in front garden, near driveway. spread 8-10', 4in. off the ground. Creeping branches root as they grow along the ground. Fleshy seed cones (berries) are infrequently produced. This is a sport of 'Wiltonii'. Grows much slower than Wiltonii. Planted in 2009. Trimmed Wiltonii and Mother Lode in 2019, usually trim them every year. Difficult to control the weeds even with fabric under the new growth.
