Oops! / The Senator

Maybe I should change my previous post.  I was doing some research and discovered that The Senator is a bald cypress tree, not a regular cypress tree.  Is there a difference?  Apparently there's a very big difference, since both types are in completely separate families.  

Part of me thinks I shouldn't change the earlier entry because it may reflect the mistakes made by many people who don't know any better (like me), and maybe it will help show my growth as a naturalist.

Now for the pics.  Note that these were taken about 3 years ago:
