These are actually seed cones, but they are commonly called berries. Seeds traditionally have been used to “detoxify” the body and promote healthy digestion etc.

Horseshoe Bend Park, Hunterdon County, NJ

Here's sunset from last weekend's trip to the desert. The bubbly clouds in the top right corner catching pink light are a small patch of mammatus clouds, fairly rare in this area.

The delicate and exotically-colored juniper hairstreak (Callophrys gryneus) is seen on a cluster of wild bearded cornsalad blossoms (Valerianella radiata).

Males are highly territorial on cedar trees, where they perch in search of females. Often, males can be set in flight by gently shaking the trees.

This shot is pretty stunning in color so I'll save it for later next week. In the meantime, I'll start off with the b/w which I'm happy with save for the hot spot near the branches.

Junipers, which grow wild in our five acres of woods, are now filled with these lovely little berries, which taste like gin! (I've tasted them and they do taste like gin!) We love to see flocks of robins come through and stop to pick off every berry in sight!

Dead Horse Point

While walking the Juniper Canyon Loop with a view looking east to other pinnacle formations along the High Peaks in this part of Pinnacles National Park. What I wanted to capture with this image was a slightly wide angle, vista-like view of the High Peaks but also include some nearby foreground to add to the setting. I decided not to go completely wide angle as the sun was shining more or less in the direction I was looking. I was able though to use the ClearView Plus and some tools in DxO PhotoLab 6 to bring out more of the colors and textures present.

Canyonlands National Park, Utah

The junipers are full of life here at Grand Canyon National Park, April 9, 2024. The whole park is splashed with color, the rains and snow preceding us here no doubt the cause.

I'm really glad these worked out. I hiked for over an hour just so that the skys could open up and bury me in snow showers ! Only did the sky clear 30 minutes from the sun actually setting ! Juniper Tree Above the Conistone Dib.

This was my Summer Take !

We spent the morning on the southeast, south, and southwest rims of the Chisos Mountains. You can see the Southeast Rim in the distance here.

Then we descended through the forests of the upper part of Juniper Canyon - not only junipers but maples and oaks, among other things.

After that, the landscape opened up into the grasslands you see here.

Because of our high-elevation explorations, this was our Day 2 of the Outer Mountain Loop. The standard itinerary has you camping near here on Day 1.
