The Juniper Titmouse (Baeolophus griseus) is a tiny bird which forages for insects among the branches of the Juniper and Oaks of the California foothills. Constantly on the move and secretive, he is very difficult to photograph. This photo was taken in Jawbone Canyon on November 17, 2009 in Kern County, California, US, using a Sony DSC-H5 digital Camera

Shelly gave me a single skein of yarn and this is what I came up with. A pair of quick and fun fingerless mitts, I've named Juniper because the spiraling rib reminds me of a Juniper topiary!
Pattern available here.
Juniper Springs, in Ocala National Forest along the Florida National Scenic Trail. The 383,000 acre Ocala National Forest is the southern most National Forest in the United States.
Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition. From January 17 through April 25, 2012, a team of explorers including photographer Carlton Ward Jr, cinematographer Elam Stoltzfus, bear biologist Joe Guthrie and conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt, set out to trek 1000 miles in 100 days to showcase the opportunity to protect a connected corridor of natural lands and waters throughout peninsular Florida for the benefit of wildlife and people.

Enclosed grassland with Juniper (Juniperus communis), near Keld, Upper Swaledale, Yorkshire Dales. For another view of the field from above see here.
During droughts, and rought times, these juniper trees would 'amputate' their branches in order to survive. As a result, these trees are able to live for thoursands of years

This is the first i'm really getting to photograph Juniper, which is shameful as ive had her almost a year now!
but it was worth the wait to have her faceup completed by such an artist ^_^
Juniper Butte near Culver, Oregon. The field in the foreground is growing carrot seed. The clouds are remnants of a severe thunderstorm that hit Bend, Oregon that day.
The United States Congress designated the Juniper Dunes Wilderness in 1984 and it now has over 7140 acres. 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 1200 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.
The entire wilderness is surrounded by privately-owned lands. With permission, you can travel via old jeep trails that end near the boundary. Getting all the way to the Wilderness gate can be risky business, even with a high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle (highly recommended), and there is a significant risk of getting stuck in the loose sand of the last jeep trail, Wilderness Road, especially in warm months when there is little moisture in the sand. One option is to park at the Off-Highway Vehicle staging area on Juniper Road (also a jeep trail) and walk an additional +1 mile to the Wilderness Gate.
This is absolutely necessary if you are pulling a trailer. You'll find no maintained trails and no water in the Wilderness, and backpackers and horseback riders should also be aware of the likelihood of large temperature variation for overnight stays.
Be sure to contact the BLM's Spokane District for the latest conditions and access to the spectacular Juniper Dunes Wilderness Area!
Directions:
Wilderness visitors must pack in all drinking water and be prepared for large temperature swings. Proper sun protection such as a wide-brimmed hat is recommended, even in early spring and late fall, along with sun screen lotion. There are no sources of ground water in the Wilderness.
Be aware that road access past the first "P" symbol (for "Parking") on the map when traveling northbound on Peterson Road (where Peterson Road ends and Juniper Dunes Road begins) is typically difficult due to loose sand road conditions and potentially some large roller-coaster like "whoops" in Juniper Dunes Road. Vehicle travel past this point normally requires, at a minimum, a high clearance vehicle, preferably 4-wheel-drive.
It is recommended that visitors to the Wilderness park their vehicles no farther up Juniper Dunes Road than the upper off-highway vehicle (OHV) "Open" area parking/staging area (identified on the map with the 2nd "P" symbol and "?" symbol), which itself is loose sand, and therefore potentially a place where vehicles could get stuck.
Access to the Wilderness Gate is via the one-mile stretch of Wilderness Road where it starts Ā¾ mile north past the upper parking/staging area off of Juniper Dunes Road. There is a Wilderness Road sign at that intersection but it is easy to miss. Travel on Wilderness Road requires a high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle to reach the Wilderness Gate in the best of conditions, i.e. in late fall/ winter/early spring or soon after significant precipitation when the loose sand road has moisture and some compaction. As stated above it is recommended that people do not attempt turning off of Juniper Dunes Road onto Wilderness Road to access the Wilderness Gate, especially when sand conditions are dry. If you get seriously stuck it will be very difficult to get towed out.
Vehicles pulling trailers should never attempt driving past the upper OHV "Open" area parking/staging area. Visitors to the Wilderness can hike or ride on horseback across the OHV "Open" area from the upper parking/staging area to the Wilderness, or via Wilderness Road to access the Wilderness Gate.
The area is approximately seven miles northeast of Pasco, Washington. From Ritzville and Spokane, Washington:
US 395 South to Pasco. Exit onto Hwy 12 East (towards Walla Walla).
Just under 2 miles, exit onto Kahlotus Road (ramp north towards Kahlotus).
Continue NE on the Kahlotus Road for approx 5 miles.
Turn left onto Peterson Road. First 2 miles is Private Road.***Note: there is a huge yellow mailbox on the opposite side of Kahlotus Road at the entrance to Peterson Rd.
Continue straight approx 4 miles on Peterson Road. At the Juniper Road intersection, turn right.
Park in this area or continue for approximately 2 more miles.
There is a second large parking area with a metal information Kiosk at this point; this puts you next to the play area dunes. Be aware of sandy conditions in this parking area.
From here use an area map to get to the Wilderness Gate +1 mile away via Wilderness Road. Please sign in at the kiosk.

I used a photo from this website as a reference:
www.wanderlusttours.com/blog/2018/4/29/the-a-to-zs-of-cen...
Used Fabriano Artistico cotton paper. Daniel Smith watercolors.
The trunk had a lot of colors in the photo, but I think I might have overdone it. Does it need another brownish wash to mute it? I did run a brown wash over it once to tone it down, but I feel it needs more. But I kinda liked it, too. In the photo, the sky was mostly white. Should I make it bluer?
Open to thoughts on this.
Walking through the forest, the Juniper Berries are getting ripe. There may be some junper tea in my future. The Helios rendered this branch beautifully, with its hallmark swirly bokeh in the background.
As juniper expands its range, it gradually results in a number of resource problems, such as reduced forage production, increased soil erosion, altered wildlife habitat, and reduced stream and spring flows.
