One Of These Things is NOT Like the Other!

When my children were growing up, they were especially fond of the Sesame Street song, "One of these things is not like the other."  They would continue to sing it well into their teens to point out something that was different or odd.  I was struck looking through my photos of the rain forest in Glacier Bay National Park, at just how very different it is from the New Mexico terrain.  So here you go, a few contrasts...
