Maples

I'm happy to be back in full color again, having recovered from last week's computer malaise. I went out to Thetis Lake Park yesterday to see if the rains of the last few days have brought out any mushrooms. I didn't find any but I did enjoy the brilliant yellows and browns of the Big Leaf Maples (Acer macrophyllum) in the park. These leaves, in a stylized version, are on our national flag, though the flag maple is not meant to represent a specific species. Big Leaf Maples are mostly found on the Pacific Coast. In the eastern part of Canada other kinds of maple trees are found.

    We are seeing some stunning red leafed maples here in New England. I've been trying to preserve some of the leaves. I even made a Canadian flag out of cardstock and real red leaf.
