The juniper hairstreak butterfly is apart of the Lycaenidae family, and can be found in dry, open fields along the eastern coast and central United States. The juniper is often misidentified with the hessel hairstreak, and their resemblance is uncanny, aside from the different width of their bands. Their flight period is from May to early August, and at end of their flight the junipers mate, lay eggs, and die. Emerging from the eggs after a short gestation, time are small juniper larvae. The caterpillars feed on the host plant red-cedar until they are fully grown. The larvae then forms a cocoon and spend the cold winter months in it. As spring comes, the juniper will leave the cocoon as a fully grown adult butterfly and the life cycle will continue. As an adult, the juniper feeds on nectar from a variety of flowers, mostly juniper species.
The juniper species in the state of Maine has been in steady decline since the early 19th century due to habitat loss. The butterfly depends on sustainable red-cedar forests, throughout New England and New York state. Red cedars are harvested on account of the wood’s longevity, it is the most rot resistant native tree to New England and is used readily used as fence post, singles, fine woodworking and pencils. Without a thriving cedar population, there can’t be a thriving juniper population, both habitat and species are interconnected. New York state has invested in significant red cedar forest preserves through the New York Natural Heritage Program and several land conservancies, there is hope for Maine!

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

Frigid cold temps today, 19°F and a wind chill in the single-digit, yet no snow! It seems to be snowing everywhere else except in Philly. I want snow!
Phoenicean Juniper (Juniperus phoenicea) berries. A native of Portugal, here shot on a southern beach.
This is the fruit of the Red Cedar tree. It is actually a seed cone rather than a true berry. The fruit is eaten by birds. It is also used as flavoring in the production of gin.
This one came close to being eaten by the ambush bug seen attempting to stab the hairstreak in the abdomen. Fortunately the Juniper Hairstreak escaped.

A Bonsai juniper forest in the Japanese Garden. I didn't intend it, but when I look at this fullscreen, it almost looks like a regular size forest in an Escher-esque optical illusion.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I didn't make it to Sykes Mountain because I kept losing the trail. But I did make it to the top of this canyon as the sun set. This was the first colorful sunset I've seen in awhile. This is a 5-shot HDR image.
