The juniper tree has always been a kind of magical evergreen to me. It's berries can be used to spice meet, make a kind of wild yeast, and provide antioxidants and vitamins.
I was so happy to have this lifer bird show up in my yard this winter to feed on black-oil sunflower seeds at my feeders. I have looked for these in the wild and never gotten a photo of one. So when I looked out my window in early November at one of my feeders and saw this cute little bird eating the sunflower seeds I was quite surprised. It has been hanging around ever since.
As their name implies, they are usually found in habitats associated with juniper trees or pinion / juniper woodland. I don't have any junipers in my yard and I don't think my neighbors do either.

I somehow forgot to tag this one for my photo a day project.

خدایا سینهای ده آتش افروز
در آن سینه دلی وان دل همه سوز
هر آن دل را که سوزی نیست، دل نیست
دل افسرده غیر از آب و گل نیست
دلم پر شعله گردان، سینه پردود
زبانم کن به گفتن آتش آلود
وحشی بافقی
Log cabin at the community of Juniper, in Idaho along I-84 just north of the Utah state line in Idaho.
Check out the cut marks on the logs.
500 hundred years of this living being, of this survivor, this wind guardian. El Sabinar in El Hierro island is an amazing place.
Older than you and me, the tree met the last indigenous civilization of the island and saw the first Columbus trip to the unknown. Old and beautiful.
One of the most beautiful and remote corners of the Planet Earth.
Sabinar.
El Hierro, Canary Islands. 2017

One of the most aesthetic trees in the Vancouver area - at Juniper Point, Lighthouse Park. A heavy shower blew through to reveal a golden patch of late evening sky. The glow of the reflection in the water against the Juniper tree together with the gnarly rocks were delightful.
I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!
Callophrys gryneus. Searight Park in Austin was full of juniper hairstreaks today. This one is nectaring an a small flower on a tree I couldn't identify.
When people first come to the Desert Southwest, they often comment on how much they like the old, gnarled juniper trees. These trees can inhabit poor quality soil and rocky terrain where other plants will fail. As a slow growing species, they can live for hundreds of years. Here is a shot of an old juniper tree with some of the most colorful light I've ever seen in Zion National Park!
Junipers (in this case, Juniperus osteosperma), are famously good desert-survivors. They're also notorious contortionists, which may contribute to their long-lived success. They produce berries much enjoyed by the local fauna.

It had been below freezing the night before. On the way to the trailhead, the fields around Loa and Bicknell were covered in ice from the irrigation sprinklers.
Visit to Grand Canyon south rim was spectacular, but it was made even more interesting with a few lifer bird sightings. Juniper Titmouse!

Juniper at the window. I have been doing pen, ink and charcoal sketches for my new virtual artwork and this is one for a character named Juniper. There is a story as to why she never leaves her blanket but I have not built that story yet. She was also in my last work called "Hand" which was supported by the Ontario Arts Council. But here is her poem and perhaps it helps explain.
Under a blanket
with holes throughout
nobody sees in
but Juniper looks out
she whispers
come under with me
and together we'll hide
hold me in the darkness
there'll be no outside
where people are cruel
and winters are cold
where I don't fit in
and everything's sold
climb inside
we're two hands in a glove
fingers entwined
because you are my love
-Bryn Oh
Juniper trees are so unique with their bright blue berries and textured needles. I wanted to do them justice this particular winter sunrise with an intimate portrait.
Searching for very old trees at Sedona, I found this living fossil Juniper Tree . In this área you can find some real old ones. I was very lucky getting this wonderful light. ( YBSNature21 )
Scanning through my archive and found this photo which I completely overlooked.
I love the twisted, dead juniper trees in this area.
Juniper, Sandstone Cliff. © Copyright 2012 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
An old juniper tree growing at the base of a sandstone cliff, Capitol Reef National Park.
As I recall it now, quite a few years later, this tree stands on a rise at the base of a large section of sandstone cliff in a place where a canyon makes a sharp bend. It is not a particularly remote or obscure spot, but the cliff is remarkable in terms of the late-day lighting and the patterns on the surface of the rock. The lighting was special — and challenging! — because the section of the canyon is aligned such that little direct light gets there. This means that much of the light is either from the very blue sky or reflected from very red cliffs, creating some almost otherworldly color effects.
My recollection is also that I found it a little complicated to get the compositions I was looking for here. I remember it as one of those places that is remarkable but which doesn’t necessarily present easy photographs. My archive of raw files supports this — I see a variety of different attempts at the subject, and each of them grappled with issues of juxtaposition and with objects that interfered with the composition. In fact, this version of the scene works because I found a different approach to cropping it that managed to eliminate one of this distractions.
