A friend emailed me about the cover story in the Summer 2021 issue of Sierra, the magazine of the Sierra Club. The story is about the photographer, Beth Moon, who has photographed ancient trees around the world. I had discovered Beth Moon’s photographs a few years ago, and she has been a huge inspiration to me ever since. The article in Sierra includes several of her stunning tree portraits, some of which I had not seen before.

One of her images that was new to me was the juniper tree on the magazine cover. If the tree looks familiar, it may be because you remember one of my recent blog posts about this same juniper. Quite a coincidence!
