3.28.12 Ginkgo an "ecological paradox"

My love for ginkgo grows every day.

They are one of the very few living fossils dating

back to the jurassic time,

Ginkgo evolved in an era before flowering plants exist,

when ferns dominated earth.

Wikipedia calls them an "ecological paradox"...

what in the world could be more awesome than that!?

I have been busy, busy, learning the ancient art of japanese calligraphy.

I am really enjoying the meditative aspect of it.
