Came across this while hinking a canyon. If I was paying attention the picture would be perfect.... But it is still neat so I shared it. bbctkd.com

Thought I would try backlighting this juniper tree during the sunrise. If anyone has advice on how to reduce lens glare/flare when attempting these, I would appreciate it. Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Colorado, December 2014
When I see a Juniper tree I remember winter. I remember cold, long, dark nights and warm glowing hearth fires. I remember scents of pine and cedar, and smells of cinnamon and nutmeg. Welcome, winter, for another year ... and may spring rains come soon.
I found this along the dirt road that goes to the old Post Office in Powderhorn, Colorado. The rabbitbrush, fully in bloom, made a resounding fall statement, while the sagebrush and junipers were silent.
The spicy, aromatic, dark berries of the juniper tree can be used fresh or dried, crushed or whole, to flavour casseroles, marinades and stuffings and complement rabbit, venison, beef and duck. They can also be used in sweet dishes such as fruitcake. Juniper berries also provide the main flavouring for gin.
Under a juniper-tree the bones sang, scattered and shining
We are glad to be scattered, we did little good to each other,
Under a tree in the cool of day, with the blessing of sand,
Forgetting themselves and each other, united
In the quiet of the desert.
T.S. Eliot
The past winter was quite wet and this juniper tree (false cedar) has an amazing abundance of berries now.
The squirrels will be feasting sometime in August.
The oldest birch in my wood, only the odd juniper may be older. This is a trunk that has taken over the main sugar producing duties after the original was broken off a good few years ago.. It has chaga growing on the remains.

This is a repost of a photo I posted a while back, but with an edit I'm happier with.
You might be a birder when you spend several hours searching for a plain gray little bird like this Juniper Titmouse! We had to work hard to find this little guy but boy did it feel good when we did.

The color version of the blue Juniper berries posted a few weeks back.

A sunny Thanksgiving from my neck of the desert to your neck of the woods or wherever, and a slice of juniper berry pie with a sand cracker crust and a dollop of wind-whipped needles.
This lone juniper stands tall against the harsh winds that come with living on a ridge overlooking the Delaware River. In the fall, when night time air temperatures start to dip, the valley fills with fog since the river is warmer than the air. It creates this 'sea of fog' that slowly lifts as air temperatures rise.
West side of the San Rafael Swell along I-=70. Every landscape photographer needs a lone-tree photo, right?

JUNIPER HAIRSTREAK BUTTERFLY-07203691.jpg
I ordered a 300 MM lens for my Pentax cameras and I was not paying close attention when I hit the Buy Button ! Well this may be a mistake that is going to turn out gold ! The lens was for a 6 x 7 camera an older Pentax film camera with a 6 x 7 film format not a 35 MM.. Thought I had gotten myself a white elephant ! Then I found an adaptor for a 6 x 7 to 35 MM camera . totally different formats and distance to the focal plain ( a much smaller portion of the image would be cast upon the cmos because the lens was designed for use on a medium format camera ) I figured the image would overlap the size of the cmos in the 35 MM camera , This is the image produced by the lens hooked to my K-30 Pentax . The branch is about 20 feet from the side window thru which I took this photo . This is not cropped. what is seen in the photo was exactly as the lens captured it . The field of view is very narrow ( probably because of the suspected overlap ) It is however very sharp ! I think this is going to be a very handy mistake ! I will try to get out over the next few days and give it a run through and will post the results here bad or good .
Another Juniper I hadnt photgraphed before. I shot this tree from several angles. I liked each one. I think there may still be a few I haven't
in the distance is the Green River. which Came all the way here from Wyoming.

A view from the bottom of Juniper Canyon at about 4000 feet (1200m). We've just left the Chisos Mountains from Boot Canyon down the Juniper Canyon Trail. Crown Mountain (7010 feet, 2137m) has been our friend since lunch - it's the peak hiding in back behind the foreground buttress at right.
The peak at left is unnamed, a little over 5500 feet (1680m). It is physically separated from the main block of the Chisos Mountains. I'll let the geologists say more about that.
The "peak" at center-left is also unnamed. It's really more of a fin sticking out from the South Rim. The dramatic cliffs behind it mark part of the South Rim. about 7400 feet (2255m).
We started the day at the South Rim. From here we connected to the Dodson Trail and then ascended into the Sierra Quemada, passing to the left of the unnamed peak at left here.
The guidebook says that we should have been following an old ranch fence for a mile or two down Juniper Canyon but we never saw it. So I will wish you a happy no-fence Friday.
While it is sometimes a mystery why certain places are named as they are, it makes complete sense why someone would call the monoliths of Upper Cathedral Valley "cathedrals."
Fuji Neopan Acros 100, 4" x 5", 80 iso, N+1/2 development in Rodinal 1:50, 11:00 minutes, 24C. Taken April 2017. Ebony SV45TU. Schneider Apo-Symmar 135mm.
I like the way Acros renders midtones with a sort of silvery glow. Very fitting of these rough textured juniper trunks. This shot was taken during the Monochrome Guild Spring Photo Weekend. This point of the trip involved a hike up to the summit of Hoodoos Mountain, near Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada.
We walked on and around the Klondike Bluffs Trail north of Moab in search of the dinosaur tracks. Somehow, we missed the tracks, but we saw many others things of note, such as these twised junipers. Pinyon - juniper woodlands cover much of the Colorado Plateau.
