Nearly undermined Utah juniper in the Painted Hills, Nevada, north of Reno. Evidently the lifetime of many trees, especially in these conditions, is set by how long it takes for the ground to erode away around them!

Another Utah juniper ( Juniperus osteosperma ) in the Painted Hills area, about 20 miles north of Reno, Nevada. Despite its precarious position, this one looks to be in better shape!

A juniper hanging on in the Painted Hills, north of Reno, Nevada. This is probably Juniperus osteosperma , Utah juniper, closely related but a different species from the gigantic Sierra junipers I've posted elsewhere. The insets show some other specimens in the vicinity.
