My first Ponderosa Pine


My first Ponderosa Pine tree.

I took a train trip up Pikes Peak yesterday  with my sister and niece and great niece. The conductor, Ricky, led me on a short hike to my first Ponderosa Pine.  
He told me it would smell like butterscotch or vanilla.  I smelled butterscotch.  I have got to find out about this!
More later...from Colorado
