Another image of the Juniper Polytrichum Moss from yesterday. Interesting fact - it can be found growing on every continent including Antarctica. It is a evergreen perennial plant.

Recently made my first shot of this butterfly..
The Juniper Hairstreak (Callophrys gryneus) is a tiny butterfly, and is rather uncommon in our neck of the woods. Markedly smaller than the hairsteaks I'm used to seeing.

HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY!!
I'm finally home and I finally got to go somewhere fun and take photos instead of sit on my couch and cough and sneeze. We were running from rains on the desert and due to the high winds making towing the camp trailer difficult we stopped early at this RV park called The Junipers or Junipers or something. It's right at the base of the mountains where my family goes deer hunting so it was somewhat familiar territory. This was just a night shy of the full moon but was so, so, so lovely.
The second brood of Juniper Hairstreaks are out. I always look forward to seeing this beauty. Sykesville Quad.
Back in the early days of my photography, I lived across the street from an open expanse where two juniper trees grew side by side.
For a minimum of five years, I would wake up, look outside and if I saw a sunrise I liked, I would photograph it in the same spot with a 35MM Minolta.
Here's a mosaic of my favs from this series of photos.

A pair of South West Trains Class 458 EMUs stand in Clapham Junction on 17th July 2010, forming a Staines Line service. No. 458023 is the rear unit, with 458001 leading. These Alstom-built 'Juniper' EMUs were the first new trains introduced following the privatisation of British Rail, and proved to be not the most successful, eventually being merged with the similar Class 460 'Darth Vader' fleet, to become Class 458/5s incorporating a refreshed front-end design.

I haven't seen any Juniper Hairstreaks since April. This one was found on the newly blooming goldenrod.
Native to the southwestern United States, Juniper trees (Juniperus osteosperma) that vary in size and shape are often seen on the dry desert floor of Monument Valley in southern Utah. Monument Valley is officially a large area that includes much of the territory surrounding Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, a Navajo Nation equivalent to a national park.
An ornamental variety, growing outside my front door. I used it as the background for my carving shots, and realised that it made a nice picture in its own right.
Check out those fashionable striped legs..... A tiny butterfly but it let me get very close while I was shooting.... Even so had to do a lot of cropping on this one....
Animal fat lamps were an important product of prehistory, adding definition to places or low or zero light. A hollowed hand held stone takes a fuel of animal fat illuminated by the flame at the end of a wick. Many wicks were made of juniper twig. Juniper bushes often include their own selection of dried branches; their berries are also a source of sugar and flavor. As trees were removed in the neolithic, juniper fields survived indicating their favor as a source of produce for dry thin soiled landscapes.
Today, juniper berries are relatively essential for the cooking of Guineafowl (Pintade). This recipe cooks like a gamey free range chicken and the bird has been appropriated into agriculture in recent history from north Africa. The prehistoric fowler will have returned to camp with a host of birds - some of which are currently either taboo or banned from hunting - swan and heron being examples. In prehistory one must expect an amount of flexibility over the range of a day's catch, with some birds still cooked today, like goose and duck, and others probably quite surprising or numerous. At what moment in time were juniper berries added to a bird roast?
Today, pepper corns are the preferred taste explosion for a slow cooked 'daube' of wild boar or beef. Tastes change, and a neolithic stew with juniper berries may also have been difficult to refuse.
Here is an overview of prehistoric lamps:
There must be billions of juniper berries in central Oregon, a few of which do end up flavoring artisanal gin.

California Juniper (Juniperus californica)
California Juniper is a shrub-like tree that is native to California and is found only slightly beyond California’s borders; a short distance into the Great Basin in southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona, and Baja California. Throughout our state it is found in the Peninsular Ranges, Transverse Ranges, California Coast Ranges, Sacramento Valley foothills, Sierra Nevada, and at higher elevation sky islands in the Mojave Desert ranges in Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, Joshua Tree Woodland, and Foothill Woodland communities. It is a member of the Cupressaceae or cypress family
