This is a great photo but an even better message. I think women are more naturally supportive because they have always had to depend on each other.

Appropriately, caryatids are always women! Yes, I know that male figures were sometimes used, but not nearly so often! Appropriately so.

Supportive indeed LOL. Ok I have to read up on these. I thought I read “Catydids” (Katydid).
