Today's new drawing was done and then altered so there are three Juniper Fairies.

Tree Faires - Juniper Fairy with extended wings

This is a type of Tree Fairy.  She is named Juniper.  This is a fitting name because she is a Juniper Tree Fairy or you can just say Juniper Fairy.  She is harvesting the fruit of the Juniper Tree.  She is Fairy size here, although all Fairies can go Mortal size if they choose.  The Juniper berries are a fruit with multiple uses.  Many birds feed on them.  They also have medicinal uses.  They are also high in vitamin C, but eating too many Juniper berries can be toxic.  

There are two drawing here to show that Faires can internalize their wings when they choose to. When a Fairy decides to go to mortal size and mingle with mortals in disguise, she or he will first internalize their wings, transform to mortal size with Fairy magic and technology, and they will then use a concealment charm on their pointed ears to make we mortals think they are mortal shaped ears.  Of course, a Fairy may choose to internalize her wings for any number of reasons besides disguise.  Not getting them scratched by the scale-like leaves of a juniper tree would be a reason to internalize wings.

Notice that Juniper (the Fairy not the tree) is wearing a small flying belt.  That is called Balteum Volantes in the Fairy Latin that they commonly speak.  Fairies wear flying belts to be able to fly further and faster.  All Fairies CAN fly without the flying belt, but the flying belt gives them much more speed and a further range.  

For your information Juniper Faires are often Native American in appearance.  Like many Fairies, they often choose to wear clothing of leaves.  They also sometimes wear attire that looks somewhat like traditional Native American clothing.  So I drew Juniper in that attire as well.  See below.

Junipers are an evergreen and I believe they are a type of conifer.  These trees are found in many parts of the world... mainly in the Northern Hemisphere.  So they are found in North America, Europe,  Asia, and clear down to parts of the tropics like in Africa and Central America.  Juniper leaves are very unique.  They are scale-like, not needles like many other conifers.  The tree in these drawings is a Utah Juniper or Juniperus osteosperma.  Here in Utah, USA, we also have Juniperus scopulorum or Mountain Juniper.  We also have a native Juniper bush called Spreading Juniper... or Juiperus horizonalis.  The seeds of the Utah Juniper are hard and so the species name of osteosperma mean bone-like or hard seed.  The Juniper trees are not commonly planted in our neighborhoods, but the Spreading Juniper is very common as a side of house shrub.  The Junipers I am familiar with here in the Western part of North America are all around 20 feet tall at most.  That is about six meters.
