NOLA Flora & Fauna 026 - The Elusive Uptown Cypress

Please click on the images for larger, more-detailed versions.As I took this picture, I said to my wife, "Huh. You never actually see Cypress trees in the city. You only see them in the parks and swamps."


A day later I noticed that THERE ARE TEN OF THEM DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE!

I'm pretty sure these don't have the cypress knees, as they are not close enough to water.
