Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is yellow day at Color my World Daily and of course we will know the answer to yesterday’s question: what was the object in my picture….
So the answer is : Maple syrup spigot ! Or Maple syrup tap.
The metal tube is tapped into a taphole to carry the sap from the tree to a bucket or hooked directly into the sap tubing. And then you have maple syrup ;-) ! Of course the fabrication process is a little bit more complex than that !!! If you are interested to know more, dont ask me (I have no idea how to make Maple syrup, I just love to eat it !!) but here is a video : www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZj_4-iqwlI
First of all : I was amazed how many people knew the answer !! But how ??? LOL When I first found my « mysterious object » I was at the sugar shack (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_shack) with my coworkers… it took me several days and my husband to figure out that the object I found was, in fact, Maple syrup spigot.
Second point: thank you so much my friends for all the awesome, funny, clever and cool comments I got !! It is always a pleasure reading your kind words !! Your participation and support are highly appreciated !!
See you later my friends ! I wish you all an amazing day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
One of the many interesting shops, selling their wares, in the Byward Market, downtown Ottawa. Happy weekend my friends =)
I have always wondered about the typical tiny and useless handles on maple syrup bottles.
"The internet's favorite answer is that the handles are a remnant from when most jars were large earthenware containers. The handle's useful when you're carrying five pounds of liquid, but not so much when you can easily grab the whole bottle in the palm of your hand.
Nowadays, through the magic of marketing and nostalgia, tiny handles = real maple syrup to all of us, and companies keep putitng them on the bottle.
The tiny handle is an example of a skeuomorph, which is not only a fun word to say, but a really neat little piece of vocab. "
We have a favorite pancake recipe that we use that can be found on allrecipes.com allrecipes.com/recipe/162760/fluffy-pancakes/. Sunday mornings are always a leisurely time with a big breakfast. My husband and daughter made a double batch of these pancakes this morning and were very patient with me while a grabbed a few quick compositions. We also had scrambled eggs, and roasted veggies too. Enjoy your day!
Steam rises from huge wood-fired pans of boiling sugar-maple sap behind Ronnie Moyers, owner of Laurel Fork Sapsuckers, a sugar camp in Highland County, Va., near the West Virginia state line. Moyers and his family tap more than 1,400 sugar maples each year; each 60 gallons of syrup collected yields but one gallon of maple syrup. ©2021 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com

Did you know that Alfred Hitchcock used Bosco chocolate syrup as fake blood for the shower scene in Psycho? Anybody remember the jars with clown lids? I always wanted one as a kid, but they were too expensive.

Maize is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago.
Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. Most is used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup.
"These are the things I learned: share everything, play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap every afternoon, and, when you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together."
Robert Fulghum
Here's wishing you and yours a safe and joyous holiday season. What better way to welcome in the New Year with art created by corn syrup! ;)
Captured for Macro Mondays theme: Condiments. HMM everyone!
I made the syrup (jam that didn't gel), as well as, the label and the background.

I must confess I’ve seen something similar to this before so I can’t really take credit for the concept. But I had spoons, syrup and waffles so just the right ingredients to rustle up a spot of sweet, sweet plagiarism.
After securing our donuts in the town of Monterey Virginia we headed out into the beautiful countryside of Highland County looking for the Maple Sugar shack that we had visited almost one year ago to the day and were happy to find it. There are quite a few of these Maple Sugar making shacks around the county and many are open during the Maple Fest for visiting. These two gentleman are the same two men that were there last year. So knowledgeable in the process of making maple syrup they generally took turns talking to visitors and explaining the cooking down process but just this one time I was able to snap a shot with both of them in it. I think the one in the background with the purple hat looks like Compo on the "Last of the Summer Wine" a British Sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010. It's very dark in the shed and the only heat is from the fires used to boil down the sap. Unfortunately for us, but happily for them, they had already sold all their Maple Syrup.
The Bradley family settled on Lake Ontario in Clarkson in the early 1800s. It is now a public museum. Their estate was in the middle of a maple grove, so one of the things the family produced was maple syrup. These pails, on the outside wall of the barn, are probably newer ones (no rusty holes) and the public is invited to tap syrup in the spring, To me, the pails look like art installation, especially with the shadows and contrast with rough wood planks.

I know this doesn't look that sticky but as it is golden syrup running on a DVD in the sunshine, it is very sticky. I got the idea for these shots from KittyW who has a number of amazing ones in her photostream. Thanks Kitty.

My favourite breakfast on a cold, winter's day is porridge with golden syrup poured on top!

I think there has been a shelf of old bottles just like this, in almost every living history museum I have visited in the Maritimes and each and every single time I am compelled to take at least one shot of them. Definitely one of my favourite subjects to capture.
FYI, I have no idea what Norm Syrup is or does, maybe it's a Canadian thing??

Having seen what I thought was a maple syrup bottle in Elisa's submission to the Group I went looking and found at least something similar.
Plonked it on my table-top, fixed a background, shone a desk light, grabbed my 'point & shoot' camera and took just the one photograph of the neck of the bottle.
Just a little post-processing to get rid of a mark on the bottle and a bit of the dust, and this is the result.

The beginning of the Syrup process. I had to try some Sorghum Syrup and I like it.
It is much like Cane Syrup, another favorite of mine.

A southbound BNSF local rolls along between Cottonwood and Green Valley, MN. The main customer they serve is the large ADM corn processing plant that lies just a few miles ahead in Marshall. They've undergone expansion in the last couple of years to increase production of various starches for animal feed, but there's still a good amount of corn syrup being made that will be shipped out in those tank cars.
