Maybe a Utah Juniper...not that I know first hand, I googled it! :) Beautiful twisty, textured tree trunk and sprawling roots (I talk to 'em too). I always love diagonal lines in a capture and enjoy the directional lead-in to the Courthouse Towers - all under a gorgeous cloud-filled sky...and the Three Gossips..ooo, interesting! More, please! :) #8698601
