Are they trying to give the impression they are going on Safari, why not just wear light trousers (pants)! Maxine

I'm going back to that link to investigate more....way too comical to pass.
Originally Posted By disney pete yeah i had to laugh at that link a lot of it was true at the time especially the white stilletos.

Originally Posted By danyoung The leaves on the Tree of Life are more of a lime green, as opposed to the ... well, leafy green of the surrounding trees. It makes the tree stand apart even from way out in the parking lot, and has always made it look more artificial to me.

It has plenty of huge ones, but none really filling in the gaps between them.
