Juniper Tree - 1

While delaying the washing out part of the Tree of Life. I started on a Juniper Tree.
These were also grown in the Lebanon.

There are Biblical references in the book by the Prophet Isaiah about how Sennacherib, King of Assyria, boasted of cutting the great forests down... the tallest cedars and the choicest junipers. But also that he would have his downfall and the forests would gloat (over him) now that no one came to cut them down. The distant forests would be quiet, birdsong and not battle cry heard, safe for a time from the axes.

Trying several threads to get the silvery bark effect.
