Juniper is a very photogenic nootnoot and a bit of a camera hog...Ratchel, not so much, i can hardly get photos of her at all :p
I liked how the new, light green growth of this ground juniper looked against the thick mat of crowberry. Both species are quite common throughout the province, While edible, the dark berries of the crowberry are not the sweetest. Made into jam, it is said to be quite nice.
Junipers will grow over top of the crowberries, shading them out. They win the war of succession in this battle.

A neighbor friend sold her house and moved into assisted living. She kept a marvelously creative yard and I was sad to see her leave the neighborhood.
I admired this juniper in a pot and she gifted it to me. The surface was covered with some kind of succulent ground cover. It was right up against the trunk and causing a little rot to it. I pulled it back and cleaned up the little tree a bit and let it sit, and thought about it.
Come October I repotted it, it was a chore removing it without breaking the pot, but I managed. It was pretty rootbound. I repotted it in slightly larger terracotta pot, I gave the roots quite a prune as well. Over the winter I played around with it and I'm just waiting now to see if it will favourably respond to the work and spring.

A juniper berry is the female seed cone produced by the various species of junipers. It is not a true berry but a cone with unusually fleshy and merged scales, which gives it a berry-like appearance. The cones from a handful of species, especially Juniperus communis, are used as a spice, particularly in European cuisine, and also give gin its distinctive flavour. Juniper berries are among the only spices derived from conifers, along with spruce buds.

Not very colorful, but cute. These little birds flit around so much, it's hard to get a good pic. This is the first time I've seen one in my backyard. Lakeside, AZ
Sandstone in Utah often hosts juniper trees that could be hundreds of years old. The one is in Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
There are 67 species of Juniper in North America. We have several bushes and several tall trees in our neighborhood. But what took me by surprise was my first sighting of a Juniper that had flowered on Mt. Diablo. You would not think that such dainty flowers would be seen on such a scrubby juniper species as we have here. We're more likely to see the berries. On the other hand, the Manzanita, a hearty desert and mountain dweller, often scraggly and rangy, has some of the most delicate flowers of any wild trees I've seen in California. I'll post the Manzanita below.

I typically avoid the iconic scenes but with patchy clouds above and no one else around, I decided to give the scene a try. The juniper surely has a photogenic appeal with its arching bonsai-like shape. Though beautiful, I was a bit surprised to find the tree standing far shorter than I had anticipated. Despite the forecasts of cloudless skies, I ended up lucky to get clouds streaming in almost every day.

The group of 4 berries is .625" W, image is 1.00" Wide. These fruits of the red juniper are berry-like cones known as 'juniper berries'. They are initially green, ripening in 18 months to purple-black with a blue waxy coating; they are spherical, 4ā12 mm (5ā32ā15ā32 in) diameter, and usually have three (occasionally six) fleshy fused scales, each scale with a single seed.

The Utah Juniper can seem to grow out of solid rock. It grows so slowly this one could be hundreds of years old.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
I'm pretty happy with how I've slowed down my color shooting this year. I still do it a bit (clearly), but I've been focusing more on B&W.
Still, a good color emulsion in a good developer, with beautiful skies and brilliant morning light can really make me smile.
This is Rollei Crossbird - a strange slide film that we're directed to dev in C-41. I've done it in E-6, and while it's nice enough, I do prefer to xpro it. I do mine in ECN-2 because I do all my color in that.
Scenes like this make me so happy. Give me grasslands and safe, an old homestead and blue skies (or dark skies, if you like, I'm good either way).

Well look who got a new wig :P I was missing her longer hair, since I think she looks super cute with buns like these, so I got her something as similar to her stock wig as I could find ^^;
I also decided to use a different lens today? Not sure how I feel about it still, I think I just need to practice with it.

Juniper rarely poses for me. She came to us from a rescue society after having been found pregnant in the Everglades. I suspect she accidentally got away from her owners as opposed to having been abandoned as she acts like an example of feline royalty. Her kittens were quickly claimed and Nancy and I welcomed her to our home. She has adopted both of us as her humans, on her terms of course.
I love the gnarly, weathered juniper trees growing out of the granite at Olmsted Point in Yosemite. The backlight of the setting sun made for a nice glow and sunstar opportunity. www.optimalfocusphotography.com
Stink bugs get their name from the unpleasant odor they produce when they are threatened. Predators prefer meals that smell good.

Fence posts from the Juniper tree (Juniperus osteosperma) are the preferred choice for fencing on the open range. They dry rock hard, are extremely rot resistant, insects wonāt touch them and they will out last the cowboy that strung wire to them. They are often called cedar because of the pungent/fragrant smell. They also make a great campfire. And, you can use the berries to flavor your bathtub gin if so inclined. Shot this with a Nikon F3 and a 24mm f2.8 ai-s lens. Film was Bull loaded Arista 100 developed in Rodinal using the Stand process.

Anthology TAXI:
If I could go back and change the past
Be a little brave than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing
If I had everything, would it mean anything
To me?
Would it be enough
Or would I still be wondering?

This muscular juniper is one of my favorite trees. It is male* and lives in the pasture, near the fence/road and gets a good amount of water during irrigation season. There is a female juniper that lives just across the road and sits near a pond. She is round and voluptuous, and if a person knew nothing about trees, they would still immediately recognize these two are in love. She produces enough juniper berries (thanks to this one) to supply a year's worth of gin for a country. Gin derives its signature piney flavor from juniper berries.
*Juniper is dioecious, which means that individual plants are either male or female, unlike most tree species, where both male and female flowers occur on the same tree. Male flowers appear as yellow blossoms near the ends of the twigs in spring and release pollen, which is wind-dispersed. Female flowers are in the form of very small clusters of scales, and after pollination by the wind, these grow on to become berry-like cones.
