Maple pods. Unless you were literally raised in a scientific laboratory, you know that maple trees spread their seeds with fun little "helicopter"-like pods that spin as they fall through the air. Being caught in a storm of falling maple seeds is really a sight. I did enhance the colour a little bit in this picture, but I assure you they were beautiful even to the naked eye.

This is before I realized I should take off his silly bandana.

I have an almost identical shot that's more properly exposed, but the sky blue/almost turquoise + yellow seemed to be more compelling than a darker blue + orange.

Maple Days is here again! Patrons enjoyed a free sample of Fort Drum maple syrup, maple cotton candy, face painting, bean bag toss and more! This year Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers set up a 'photo booth' and had photos printed and waiting for pick-up after a fun day in the maple grove. If you missed it this weekend you have one more chance, Saturday, March 26 from 10am to 3pm at the corner of 45th Infantry Division Drive and Iraqi Freedom Drive.

I really liked seeing the bright red against the cloudless blue sky.
