    Learning to recognise trees by their bark. These photos were taken in Yosemite National Park. I would appreciate help identifying them. Hopefully I have the right bark with it's corresponding leaf!

    Re: trees

    Juniperus sp., most likely J. occidentalis subsp. australis, but could be J. californica.

    Yes, this was spotted in California. Would they have australis there?

    Yes; 'australis' here means 'southern', by comparison with J. occidentalis subsp. occidentalis, which occurs further north in Washington and Oregon.
