I finally got one. This has got to be one of the most drab birds in the birding kingdom but at least I got it. It isn't as pretty as the Oak Titmouse but I still love that cute crest on its head!
During our visit to Colorado and Utah the bristle cone pines and junipers growing in this harsh climate really amazed me. I found their twisted limbs and the texture of the trunk and the branches fascinating. This specimen grows near Grand Junction at the Rim Rock Drive (Colorado National Monument).
Did some research and found out it's not a bristle cone pine as I first assumed but a juniper :-)
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. Ā© Copyright 2012 G Dan Mitchell ā 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 ā and challenging! ā 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 doesnāt necessarily present easy photographs. My archive of raw files supports this ā 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.

Dry junipers on the dunes of Porto Pino in Sardinia are a distinctive feature of this region. Junipers (Juniperus phoenicea) are evergreen shrubs or trees commonly found in coastal areas of the Mediterranean.
These plants have a remarkable ability to adapt to the harsh environmental conditions of coastal dunes. The dunes of Porto Pino are formed by sand that can be very low in nutrients and subject to strong brackish winds.
Prickly limbs of a juniper felled by a lightening strike for the Smile on Saturday group, Topic: Prickles and Co. Mesa County, Colorado. Happy Saturday!
A 'Utah Juniper' tree in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
This conifer has the ability to survive under the harshest conditions and can live as long as 700 years, and some individuals have been found that are even older. Shot using a Singh Ray Reverse GND.
People use the juniper berry to make medicine. Juniper is used for digestion problems including upset stomach, intestinal gas (flatulence), heartburn, bloating, and loss of appetite, as well as gastrointestinal (GI) infections and intestinal worms. It is also used for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney and bladder stones. Other uses include treating snakebite, diabetes, and cancer.

Sunset view from Juniper Point from Juniper Point at Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In the background you can see the Grebe Islets, Bowen Island, and the mountain peaks in the Sunshine Coast's Tetrahedron Range. The tree in the photograph looks to be a stunted Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) judging from the cones and not a Juniper.

West side of the San Rafael Swell along I-=70. Every landscape photographer needs a lone-tree photo, right?

At the top of Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area is this Juniper tree. It is probably the most photographed tree in Wisconsin.
Another image revived from the archives, this one from a field trip to the Cejita Blanca area, northwest of Albuquerque and west of Cuba, in 2011. It's been resurected because Photoshop has a new feature called "Sky Replacement" that allows images like this one, which had no definition in the sky, to take on a new life. Many of us have been replacing skies for quite some time, but images like this would be very tedious if not impossible to achieve using a product like Topaz Remask. Photoshop has made it so much easier and faster.
As to the tree:
Hereās the difference between the Junipers and Pinions: the pinyon pines offer a vital food resource for humans. Itās the pine nuts. These nuts have been a staple in many diets, including those of the indigenous DinĆ© people. A fascinating discussion of the āpiƱonā harvest can be found in this article. Or, if you are the hands on type, you can go harvest them yourself at the wonderful Great Basin National Park. It is even rumored that a handful of pine nuts given to a member of the Donner Party is what saved what few survivors there were.
The juniper tree is not so edible (the berry wonāt kill you, but it might make you sterile), but not less important to various cultures. Juniper berries are used all over the world to add fragrance and taste to the popular liquor, Gin (next time you run into a juniper tree, take a whiff of the branch and see what it reminds you of). It has also been used by the DinĆ© to treat diabetes, a medicine that Western science is just starting to understand.

The photo I took while sorting out where to place the tripod for my cut film effort. This thing is leaning towards me at about a 45Ā° angle.
