JUNIPER 2009

This image was made a few miles to the NE of Montrose, Colorado. You don't have to go very far from home to find this common desert dweller. To me, they are lovely trees to photograph and each one has a character of it's own.

I made this image one chilly morning during the winter when the shadow was strung out across the hillside. I was struck by the simplicity of the setting, and that is one of the things I look for when making photographs.
