Jeremiah 17:5-8
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Above is picture of a heath. This little plant is a member of the Juniper family and is exactly what Jeremiah is referring to. Notice the heavy salt stains on the earth behind the plant. My mom's husband Jed has been working in Iraq for the last 20 months. He sent this post in an email yesterday along with the picture he took. I liked it so much I asked to post it here too.
He doesn't have this post up on his blog yet, but here is the address that includes some of his adventures.
