I would like to thank all of my contacts for these photos. I have been alittle under the weather lately and was tired and lets say 'cranky', but after seeing all of your great photos, I looked around, saw the low light hitting the witch hazel and headed outside

Witch-Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana)-This is the last woody plant to bloom during the fall; this usually occurs shortly after its leaves turn yellow and have fallen to the ground. After the flowers have withered away, some of them are replaced by seed capsules that require an entire year to mature. A mature seed capsule resembles a brown woody acorn about 2/3" (17 mm.) long. Mature capsules explode, ejecting the seeds about 10-20 ft. away. There is an ornamental variety which is a hybrid between a Japanese species and a Chinese species that has larger flowers and blooms in early spring.

If people who were being weight were to skinny it meant that they were a witch. In total almost 500.000 people were killed, because people thought they might be a witch...
