Maples have flowers. Who knew? Oh wait, Sam Hammer did! Actually, we all did however, until this class; we just did not know it. The leaves are a good example of parallel venation and as seen here, the flowers are showing the stamens. I wonder if to some degree the petals have minute amounts of chlorophyll because of their pale green color. Once fertilized, they will produce the fruit and the helicopter seedpods I remember as a kid.

The sun makes an appearance in the horizon as it sets under a thick blanket of clouds, lighting up the shores of Bare Island.
