Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
Was up hunting junipers again today. Here are some photos I thought people would enjoy.
Lot of juniper deadwood lying around. This gives you an idea of some of the contorted shapes that can be found in dead skeletons. Now if only I could find a live one that looked like this...
Today I went up about 500-1000 feet, and found a lot of cactus(!) Cacti everywhere, which is strange because there weren't any down in the valley.
Lucky Lager, anyone? For those of you old-timers that used to collect beer cans, you will know that they stopped making can-opener top cans in 1965, and they stopped using steel can ends long before that. So this means this can has been sitting up here 45 years or more. Not a lot of rain, judging by the rust on this steel can. No matter where I go in the mountains, I always find junk, though I am happy to say that most of it is really old and people don't seem to pollute as much now.
An interesting tree - not sure why I took this picture Maybe it looked better in person.
Another tree with a cool base that I didn't get a good photo of. The road in the background is the one that I drove in on - this particular patch of junipers is about 200 square miles, though I stay out of the forest areas and hang out primarily behind the county dump.
