BISEXUALS GROW FROM THE GROUND

believe it or not, it's actually the much more common (but still majestic) ponderosa pine. More obvious in my photos where you can make out the needles;

they're growing on a slickrock formation and have very little soil to work with, what they do have is pretty much loose sand. It's incredible that they can grow there at all! They end up stunted, like bonsai trees. For reference, ponderosa growing in standard conditions are one of the tallest trees you'll see in the southwest:

Zion Canyon is the only place I've seen large numbers of ponderosas get freaky. I see smaller trees like piñon pines and juniper chill out on cliffsides more often, but they're pretty small and gnarly to begin with. I don't think it's an elevation thing, Zion Canyon isn't too high compared to neighboring landmarks, so who knows why? Juniper & eastern white pine below (including a white pine bc I have no good piñon pics, they basically look the same to me)

And for the uninitiated, bristlecones look like this:

Ok, I hesitate to post this because people are so weird about women's normal bodily functions. But that's not the point here.

The point is... Y'ALL HAVE TO SEE THIS. This was just sitting innocently next to upcycled scrap decorations and stuff at the local fair.

Do you know how hard it is to do this while doing something incredibly physically demanding.

This falls firmly into the category of "guess what I can do?" And it turns out to be incredible

1) Figured this out.

“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”

“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”

It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!
