My choice was 3/4 inch maple plywood .It's very strong and very smooth, also MDF is not for the long run

Looks like fall colours but it's actually an early spring leaf

In the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area, along the Don Valley trails, there's a small clearing, in the midst of which stands this majestic maple. Its brilliant yellow leaves -- half on the tree, and half on the ground -- made the whole area glow golden.

'Tamukeyama' foliage begins spring with bright red growth, deepens to burgundy during summer, and then turns scarlet in fall. The intricately cut leaves look like lace and bring a soft and fine texture to the landscape with their long cascading branches. This rediscovered long lived tree, listed in Japan as early as 1710, is now replacing many contemporary cultivars due in part to its ability to resist fading in summer.

Hemel Hempstead Field Trip - 31/07/13

David, Roger and myself decided to blitz Gadesprings with as many traps as we could use, so plumping for 3 off the mains

and 2 further along the canal running from the generator. The hope was to get some of the more uncommon Wainscots, but we did not manage hardly any, with just a few Smoky, one Common and one Southern.

Numbers below are approximate

31/07/13 - Gadesprings - Hemel Hempstead - 2x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Trap, 1x 22w Actinic + 26w Blacklight Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Trap run from 9.00pm until 2.00am

(Traps highlighted in red run all night)

Maple tree in Autumn

My Website | Twitter | Google+

Took an old digital camera off the closet shelf today, Sony DSC-F707 and took a few photos along the edge of our pond. This camera, with only 5 mps, is a wonderful instrument to play with. I could image this camera, with it tilting barrel lens of Zeiss optics, being in a museum someday.
