Years of erosion have exposed the roots of this scrubby juniper, 
but it continues to endure despite the hardships of desert life.

    Lovely tones in this one, Doug... and perhaps a lesson to learn here, too!

    That's a great picture....all these reds and greens. You captured the hard existence of this plant very well.

    Hi Doug!

    This is a very nice shot! I like the gentle dof of the background, so it can still be read ..

    BR,
    Thomas
