Queensland maple is an Australian timber tree commonly planted in Hawai'i, especially in lava rock soils on Hawai'i Island where it does well. The wood is hard with a yellow or golden color, resembling maple, although the tree is in the citrus family (Rutaceae). It is used for cabinetry, turning, boat planking and veneer. Unusually for a plantation timber tree, Queensland maple is shade tolerant, and prolific regeneration can be seen under plantings. The seeds do not seem to travel far, though, and the Hawaii-Pacific Weed Risk assessment is only 3 (evaluate further) (plantpono.org/hpwra-plant.php?id=567).

Hilo, Hawaii Island, Hawaii.

I don't have a lot of time for taking new photos this month, so I'm recycling some old ones.

I took this last year on the Winter Solstice and later changed the background (a grey sky) to this cream color.

Happy Solstice, Everyone!

My friend brought me a treasure from a recent trip to Santa Monica (she knew I would love it). Does anyone know what this wonderful thing is? Isn't it remarkable?

In Scotland? Not likely. Actually they're the seed pods of some flag lilies.

Speak of childhood memories!!!

Found under a tree in bonnie Scotland.

Maple trees (Acer) produce winged seeds called double samaras, which twirl to the ground in late summer or early fall.

They resemble helicopters in motion, earning them the common name of helicopters or whirligigs.

The seeds vary slightly in size and colouring among species, but all produce winged seeds affectionately called helicopters.

The innocent fun you could have with those twirly thingies, throwing them up, running after them (kept us fit!), guarding and treasuring your 'best' ones!

Used the ring flash on this.

Now, DO NOT rush out to get one of those!

It is not a priority, has quite 'limited' usage, is particular and specific and not the easiest to use!

I use it together with other sources of lighting, but that's my game, my challenge (obsession?) literally PLAYING and PAINTING with light.

Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)
