- www.kevin-palmer.com - Fog begins to recede as the sky gets lighter. The light was very flat this morning until an hour or 2 after sunrise when the sun finally came out.
Tiny golden buds getting ready to release pollen on a male Ashe Juniper tree, commonly know around here as "Mountain Cedar". The pollen is highly allergenic to about 30% of the local population, including me. Itchy eyes and runny nose will be coming and going for many over the next few weeks. Thankfully since I changed to a more ancestral diet about 9 years ago, my reaction is not near as bad as it used to be but is still noticeable when the pollen count reaches into the thousands.
One of my two beloved budgie brothers, Juniper, who passed on earlier this year is burried in my backyard where these flowers grow. Beautiful Asters with Sedum blooming in the background. I love you baby!
a new discovery today of this beautiful tiny little guy on my property now adds a total of four Cedars here .
Now I have to address Pitch pine and see if im lucky having one here ..but they tend to grow along 495 south of Taunton and in greater numbers towards The cape and Sagamore .
They tend to like well drained sandy soils which we really don't have here.
Estimated age from time of this upload is two or three years old.

Today was the last day of the McDonalds Corners farmers' market for the 2012 season. It was mostly sunny but cold and luckily the rain held off until after it was all over. Juniper has attended most of the markets this year and last. Rumour is that she was found in a basket of cabbages. McDonalds Corners, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
Juniper Dunes Wilderness: The Juniper Dunes Wilderness preserves the northernmost growth of western juniper, some of which have been around for 150 years, along with windswept sand dunes measuring 130 feet in height and 1,000 feet in width. Other than junipers, no trees grow in significant numbers here, but many bushes and flowers bloom wondrously come spring, although the mountains that separate western and eastern Washington generally wring the moisture from the air. The landscape here takes quite a battering, in fact, with strong southwest winds to build the dunes, seven to eight inches of precipitation to moisten them, a foot or so of snow that drifts down in winter, and summer temperatures that occasionally rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Elevations range from 750 feet to 1,130 feet above sea level. But plenty of animals thrive despite the extremes: mule deer, bobcats, coyotes, badgers, skunks, weasels, porcupines, pocket gophers, kangaroo rats, several species of mice, hawks, owls, ravens, quail, partridge, pheasants, doves, numerous songbirds, and rattlesnakes.\

Callophrys gryneus. These butterflies are very small, about half an inch long. The agarita (Mahonia trifoliolata) grows wild in my yard in south Austin.
