along the trail. yes, a decorative non-native species, but still quite pretty.

Maples are simply beautiful trees in the fall.

The evaporator must be constantly monitored. The fire must be kept fully stoked.

Most important, the gauge which shows the temperature of the sap/syrup being boiled must be carefully watched. It is the temperature at which the syrup is removed from the evaporator which determines whether the product will be syrup, maple butter, maple cream, candy, etc. The temperature range for each product is very small.

As the syrup is drained from the evaporator, it is carefully filtered.

Northwind Maple is on trial from Isely: a hybrid between Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) and Korean Maple (Acer pseudosieboldianum).

Saw this tree all lit up in the afternoon sun and wanted to keep the image as a screensaver.

Speak of childhood memories!!!

Found under a tree in bonnie Scotland.

Maple trees (Acer) produce winged seeds called double samaras, which twirl to the ground in late summer or early fall.

They resemble helicopters in motion, earning them the common name of helicopters or whirligigs.

The seeds vary slightly in size and colouring among species, but all produce winged seeds affectionately called helicopters.

The innocent fun you could have with those twirly thingies, throwing them up, running after them (kept us fit!), guarding and treasuring your 'best' ones!

Used the ring flash on this.

Now, DO NOT rush out to get one of those!

It is not a priority, has quite 'limited' usage, is particular and specific and not the easiest to use!

I use it together with other sources of lighting, but that's my game, my challenge (obsession?) literally PLAYING and PAINTING with light.

Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)

This is a Tiger Maple Trestle Table that we just got from the Vermont furniture maker Greg Goodman and the table top is AMAZING! The grain looks like silk ribbons througout the top....the irridescence is jawdropping! I literally gasp when I saw this table. The top has such a fine finish to it it feel like glass. Beautiful! www.vermontwoodsstudios.com

This morning I got to work to find this lovely bottle of Maple Syrup sitting there waiting for me. My supervisor runs a small sugar shack in her backyard and brought us all in some... did I mention she is the best supervisor EVER?

A lovely maple tree near my house.

Maple in golden hour light

Japanese maple (Acer palmatum Thunb.), 895 Pleasant Street, Newton Square District, Worcester, MA.

This maple at the Arboretum was tucked in a corner off the beaten path. There was so much shrubbery around it the only way I could get a wide view of it was to use the fisheye. The image below is a "non-fisheye" version of the same tree.

This maple species holds a special place in my heart because we used to make our long bows from these when we were kids. The wood is hard but supple making it perfect for this. This species is the only west coast maple whose leaves turn scarlet red in the autumn. The red sepals of the flowers are characteristic. This is a sought after plant by landscapers since it can hold soil on a slope. Alexandra Rest Area, Hwy 1, BC, May 17, 2011.
