 Two views of the same big leaf maple branch against the red siding and a dark window.First is from April 5, second came 42 days later.


Photo taken April 5, note hanging flower clusters.


Photo taken May 17, note heavy, hanging seed pods.  Maple seed pods are, using scientific jargon, called samara, to kids who gather and toss them in the air to watch as they float down call them helicopters and a variety of other local terms.  

Stick a fork in it, its done.   Another picture from the University Street Fair (May 21)
