Chromosomes

2007.10.22

Can you see the "X" and the "Y"?

Taking photos in the city park - these trees were planted almost 100 years ago by a group of forward-thinking townswomen. This part of Wyoming does not naturally support a lot of deciduous trees, and when white settlers first came to the area it was pretty much devoid of anything but pines and aspens, and those were only in the mountains. The women quickly set about remedying that situation.

MHJphotos Awesome! The X & Y are readily apparent.

One day, I want to post nature shots that look like the 26 letters of the alphabet!

pattyb You bet, they jump right out, beautiful!

This reminds me of the Greek proverb:

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

We'll just change that to women! ; )
