We cut down a long dead Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) to discover the base of the trunk hid these beautiful red flowers.
It is always sad when a tree must be cut down, even the dead trees are, in my opinion, a sculptural work of art. If a dead tree is not a fire hazard I will let it stand. This tree was a dangerous ladder of fuel endangering the entire still-living tree canopy above it.
Corral and gardens at Pipe Spring looking NE from the front of "Windsor Castle." Happy Fence Friday!
Pipe Spring was named by the 1858 Mormon missionary expedition to the Hopi mesas led by Jacob Hamblin. In the 1860s Mormon pioneers from St. George, Utah, led by James M. Whitmore brought cattle to the area, and a large cattle ranching operation was established. In 1866 the Apache, Navajo and Paiute tribes of the region joined the Utes for the Black Hawk War, and, after they raided Pipe Spring, a protective fort was constructed by 1872 over the main spring. The following year the fort and ranch was purchased by Brigham Young for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church). The LDS Bishop of nearby Grafton, Utah, Anson Perry Winsor, was hired to operate the ranch and maintain the fort, soon called Winsor Castle. This isolated outpost served as a way station for people traveling across the Arizona Strip, that part of Arizona separated from the rest of the state by the Grand Canyon. It also served as a refuge for polygamist wives during the 1880s and 1890s. The LDS Church lost ownership of the property through penalties involved in the federal Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887. -- Courtesy Wikipedia
Today the complex is open to the public and the visitors center is operated as a partnership between the the U.S Government and the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians. The entire area seen in this image is on the tribal lands of the Paiute Indians.

Siva Juniper Hairstreak (Callophrys gryneus siva). Along Crawford Gulch Rd. Crawford Gulch. West of Golden, Jefferson Co., Colo.
We never found a great lunch spot in the higher reaches of the Juniper Canyon Trail, so we just sat down on trailside rocks. There was no one else on the trail, so this did not pose any problems.
Juniper berries actually arenāt berries at all. They are female seed cones that become juniper plants (Pinophyta), which is a cone-bearing plant or tree. Juniper plants vary in appearance and can grow low and wide like a shrub or tall like a tree. Their uniquely fleshy, merged scales make them look like a berry, thus the name.
One of the major uses of these berries is in juniper berry essential oil. Known in folk medicine and some modern research as a natural antiseptic and antioxidant, the essential oil of juniper berries is a popular therapeutic oil.
Gin isn't made from Juniper berries, it is flavoured with them. By definition, gin is a neutral spirit which is flavoured predominantly with Juniper and usually other botanical ingredients as well.

Of course, most photog's like to shoot this at night and have made some really fantastic comps of it. I had to make a choice of where I wanted to shoot the night before, and the Arch Rock provided a bit more solitude for the dogs and I than this spot. So I returned early in the morning to see how it looked.
I don't know who came up with this comp to begin with, but I'm glad they did. Such a unique view that I think works well in the morning light. Hope you think so!
I'm sorry I have been so absent lately. Just having a lot on my plate when I'd really like to spend more time on my photography and see and learn from all of you! And now my lawn is about up to my knees...
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedules to have a look and I hope you have a great weekend chasing the light!

This amazing old Juniper is growing on land once worked by the folk from the township of Balchraggan, now just ruins hidden in the long grass. The footings of several buildings and enclosures sit close to the rocky outcrop where the ancient Castle Kitchie hillfort sits atop of.
The woodland behind is part of an ancient Birchwood that stretched along the southern shores of Loch Ness and spills out over the glens and hills to the south. One building is still in use as a holiday home, but this once vibrant community, one of several in the area, has been long abandoned by all apart from the sheep and cattle.

The monthly Flea market in Portland was a new place to visit for me and I was not disappointed. I met many colourful and interesting people there. Besides, I was in the company of my two lovely granddaughters.
As soon as I saw her, she attracted my attention and I knew I wanted to make a portrait of her.
She was crocheting together beautiful pieces of wool into cosy cushions.
I introduced myself and asked her permission to photograph her. Juniper smiled agreeingly and thanked me for asking.
As her two sons were sitting in the shade next to her, I made sure she was OK with them being in one of the picture. She said it was alright.
I told Juniper briefly about my photo project while people dropped in and out to look at her beautiful work.
Not wanting to disturb her business, I asked if she could share a short message with my project.
"Slow down and breathe" she wrote down in my notebook under her email address, drawing a couple of hearts, too.
I thanked her kindly and she wished me a pleasant journey in Portland.

Gnarly juniper tree stretches out in the early morning air along the trail beneath the courthouse towers in Arches National Park.
The rocking chair (I'm way too young for this chair I hope!) and lamp were made from bent, full branch, juniper wood.
The gnarled limbs and bark of the juniper trees remind me so much of the Bristle Cones. The limbs on this tree appear to spread in joy for the golden light of the setting sun. Ā© 2016 All Rights Reserved.
Out of all the flying creatures I expected to see a Juniper Hairstreak was quite the surprise. It seemed to favor the Garlic Wintercress. Since there were almost no Odes it was quite safe.
