Utah Juniper

From Grand Canyon National Park:




Today a visitor remarked that the elegant swirls and curves of this tree reminded her of the salt water taffy she enjoys at home. The notable spiral grain seen in this Utah Juniper can be caused by wind stress, a common reaction to the strong winds and exposure along the rim of the canyon. How does Grand Canyon remind you of home? (Photo by J. Staurowsky) - etw
