When firewood logging we came across a lot of this hardwood juniper tree. They don’t grow anywhere except in Arizona and parts of New Mexico. A really neat tight grained colorful wood. I really want to make furniture out of it.

This juniper species was named Alligator due to the look of the scales on the bark. The smell when this is burnt is heavenly.

Cloud was having a great time resting under an Alligator Juniper Tree while out camping in the White Mountains of Arizona near Clay Springs. Shot on the Rolleiflex T. Damn the glass is great on this TLR camera.
