Our friends Alicia and Tony had fun with Maeve and Juniper at the races.
We came down to the track to watch the race Tony's work group was sponsoring. Then we all got our photo taken with the winning jockey. The jockey held Juniper for the photo, but since I'm going to be IN the photo, I didn't get my own shot of it. Oh well.
Before I became pregnant, this was a spare bedroom in our home that I used primarly for arts and crafts. I always loved modern art, especially Piet Modrian's mono-chromatic works. So, I covered my whole wall to look like one of his works! Unfortunately I had to paint over it, but I made sure to take a couple pics of it before I did!

Comment on Flickr album Acer monspessulanum: The genus Acer is numerous, and many of its species are well known to people. They are widely used as ornamental trees. The interesting and varied shapes of their leaves are appreciated, especially their beautiful fall colors. The genus is also important to the wood industry, as it provides high-quality wood, and some species grow to large sizes, forming extensive forests.
Acer monspessulanum is less well known. It is a deciduous tree that thrives best in the zone between the evergreen Mediterranean vegetation and the deciduous forests of central and northern Europe. It is most common in the Mediterranean basin. In Slovenia and Croatia, it almost exclusively grows along the Adriatic coast. Today, of course, it has been introduced into several European countries. It is not a large tree, reaching only up to 10 meters or slightly more. The trunk of most trees is usually much thinner than half a meter in diameter and is therefore not highly valued by the timber industry. However, it has hard, heavy wood, making it good fuel and an excellent raw material for charcoal production. The bark of young trees is gray and relatively smooth (Fig. 6). In contrast, the trunk and larger branches of older trees have deeply fissured bark (Fig. 11). Acer monspessulanum has the smallest leaves of all European species and is the most thermophilic of them all. It can be found in both deep, nutrient-rich soils and on steep, rocky cliffs where there is almost no soil. In dry, warm environments, it employs an interesting strategy to cope with unusually dry or hot summers—shedding its leaves very early, before all other deciduous trees do. It may look dried up as early as September, but this strategy does not harm its growth. Alternatively, in different weather conditions, its leaves may stay on the tree well into November.
