a maple leaf stuck on my neighbor's white porch chair forming a beautiful contrast.

Big dinner... now I'm relaxing and looking at pictures. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Young Maple Leaves

This is from a grocery chain here in Ontario

Amtrak's the "Maple Leaf" on its way to New York City from Toronto, westbound at Clarkson.

Clarkson, Ontario, Canada.

My attempt at eco-printing. Curbside maple (?) leaves and onion skin roll-bundled and steamed, brief alum post mordant. Hoping the colors would stay. The lighter-colored end was exposed to steam, somehow the leaves didn't leave much print.

There are Montreal Canadians / Habs and Toronto Maple Leafs versions of these cards. The images came from a a table top hockey game that I found abandoned on the curb. All the hockey themed cards can be seen in this set -

Found outside the school. How patriotic

for better but more for worst now, our once majestic Canada Maple Leaf is now just a burned "weed".

My husband always wears a fedora. I think it makes him look distinguished. He's holding a maple leaf, but he's not Canadian. :)

Amtrak train no 64, the eastbound Maple Leaf, passes under the classic NY Central signal bridge at mile 346.1 then over South Creek Road in East Palmyra NY. P42DC no 150 leads the usual five car consist.

leaves, maple leaf, nature

Believe it or not this is a dead maple leaf I took out of my garden. I played with it in PHOTOSHOP and this is what I got. :o)

A closer crop of the maple leaf macro I posted yesterday. The maple leaves are just starting to unfold.

Due to pollution and invasive species, many types of freshwater mussels are on the brink of extinction. This rare wild snuffbox mussel was found in the St. Croix River during routine winged mapleleaf mussel work. Snuffbox mussels were listed as a federally endangered species in 2012.
