Love the manzanita. Once common, they are scarce here in the Southwest US now, as their wood just beckons artists to create with them. There are a few old growth ones that I know of. Your photos reminds me that I should visit soon, and cover my tracks behind me.
Hi Hariod. I am glad you asked. They are Manzanita shrubs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzanita
I hadn’t seen any in a long time so it is a treat to see them dancing in my neighborhood.

Thank you JoHanna for commenting and sharing your love of the manzanita. I would love to see the old ones. I appreciate the reminder to tread lightly.

I saw these on the phone when you first posted them. They are so beautiful and other worldly.

Unusual colour gradations; I thought initially they were recovering from bush fire. May I ask what they are?
