Although I took this photo a few days ago, the implicit message behind it is - to me - linguistically humorous.

This particular stand of trees was planted with Ponderosa Pines in 1908. However, after 101 years, few of pines remain in this stand, having given way to better-acclimated hardwoods. The sign, though, still remains, having been carved by a caretaker several years ago.
