In Emigrant’s Pass, I stopped to take some photos from their stunning vista point. One of my pictures included this tree (click on it for a larger view).

Look closely. Can you identify the species?

Yep, it’s one of these.

Addendum: I didn’t notice that it was this particular variety until I got the picture home and viewed it on my monitor. I took it at near the limit of the zoom range of my Panasonic DMC-TZ1, which is pretty remarkable.
