1. If Mars had trees. Wow. You just blew my mind, you professional skiffy-writing guy.

2. Global Mars-ing is upon us!

3. If Mars had trees?

   Like these? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/6979855/Nasa-photographs-trees-on-Mars.html

4. While I think New Mexico sunsets are without peer (my opinion, doesn’t have to be anybody else’s), you pretty clearly have some awesome sunsets at your farm. And you shoot them quite nicely.

5. You know, you could write a book about Mars with trees…. no pressure. :)

6. @Rummy – I was just about to suggest that myself.

7. Except that on Mars the sky surrounding the sun is blue and pinkish elsewhere, which is the opposite of that in the photo above ;)

8. Maybe someday Mars will have trees.

   (And an atmosphere such that a sunset might be that color.)

9. @Aakin

   The title would be: “If Mars had, you know. Trees.”

   Perhaps a reinvention of Triffids with a space opera twist or a whole new genre involving ecological terrorism but from the plants themselves.

   John Scalzi – when trees attack. Not only your soldiers are green this time…

10. What Denni said. Here’s a Mars with Trees shot for you, though, from a freak iron duststorm in Texas a few years ago:
