Study of maple leaves turning colors in early Autumn. Photographed in Oakdale, Minnesota, 29 September 2020.
Tintype App, The distinctive fruits are called samaras, "maple keys", "helicopters", "whirlybirds" or "polynoses". These seeds occur in distinctive pairs each containing one seed enclosed in a "nutlet" attached to a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue. They are shaped to spin as they fall and to carry the seeds a considerable distance on the wind.
The old Maple Tree Inn. It was a historic restaurant in Blue Island, just south of Chicago. I only went here once for a beer back in 2016. I remember it being a cool old restaurant and bar. It had tin ceilings and an old bar dating back to the 1890's

Winter was pretty gentle this year, and the Old Man is bowing out early it appears if this coming forecast bears out. Hoping so, haven't pulled the camera out in a LONG time.
In the snow of Winter 2015. The sun doesn't even get to shine on it because of the pine trees blocking the Winter sunshine. This is in our front yard in Carmel,NY.

the colour of pool is caused by eutrophication. Visitors' activities (feeding fish with bread or food) have accelerated the rate at which nutrients enter ecosystems.
eutrophication (aging of a lake or slow-moving stream by biological enrichment of its water).
註：池水優氧化嚴重，尤其遊客長期用食物餵魚（湖等被燐、氮等物質汙染而致藻類急速繁殖），陽光下湖水呈現碧綠，加上偏光鏡後效果更為明顯。

Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.

After a hail and rain storm the sun broke out and the colours popped. The leaves will be mostly gone by the weekend as they are calling for snow.

I spotted this rabbit hiding against the trunk of the Maple tree. It stayed there until I got about 3 feet from it and then it just hopped about 15 feet away and then stopped and watched me.. Actually that is a very special tree and it is where rabbits come from... and now you know the truth... ;-p
Even if you don't think spring is coming it is...how do I know, I had a conversation with a Maple Tree today...
The boys and Papa and I spent some time in the mud and enjoyed fresh, really fresh maple syrup..
For more about this great New England adventure COME TO THE WOODS with me and the boys.
"Maple season has begun!
Grandpa has his kettle steaming, stirring batter merrily;
Frying golden apple fritters, this is grandpa’s specialty!
Come; at last the syrup’s ready
Oh that fresh, delicious taste!
Pour some more upon your fritters, not a drop will go to waste.
Soon forgotten all the labor, knee deep in snow and mud so vast.
Now the hard work is rewarded, and it’s really spring at last!"
A few weeks ago I visited this beautiful Thoroughbred farm on the water near Portland, Ontario.
Most of the day the lighting was not great but as we left the light created these wonderful shadows.
The white stone pillars on the left is the entrance to the farm
Another capture of "The Tree" I posted three versions of it because I can't decide which of the three I like the best.
Vermont's finest. Century maple in peak foliage display. The Holy Grail of trees in New England.

Despite being cut down after the ice storm we had, these branches from a red maple tree came into full bloom almost 2 weeks later.
Arbre inconnu ....Erable ? Unknown tree... Maple tree ?

The same gray squirrel, still cussin me out, turns to head up the tree. I couldn't help but laugh at it's bravado against something as large as me.
Smoke Tree Flame is a stunning medium sized shrub. The rounded foliage of mid green is highlighted by feathery plumes of silvery white in summer. This spectacular deciduous shrub changes into glowing tones of red and orange as Autumn approaches.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
