Autumn was all over us like a cheap suit.
Here is a small sample. Down south autumn may just be starting. Anyone have any offerings?

That's very, very nice. Now...let's see about seven billion of them all at once. Hint: you're going to need a bit wider angle lens.
Nice leaf pic, fff.

That's interesting. I would have thought that leaves would turn brown from the outside in but what the heck do I know.

Not quite 7 billion of 'em...I don't have that wide a lens either.
Who knew red maple trees actually turn red in the fall?

Beautiful pictures, if only I had a good webcam. I made the most out of what I could take pictures of though.
Leaves: Pecans: And for some reason my ducks decided now was the best time to lay 30+ eggs under a shopping cart in 40 degree weather: |

Excellent photos, all! Thanks, folks. This is one of the things I love about The Cellar the most...the chance to share what other people are seeing in their lives.

I see dead people....uh....I mean dead leaves.
Chlorophyll is green and dominant in most leaves, most plants for that matter. Anyway, in the fall the amount of light decreases below the level necessary to support the chlorophyll and it dies. When it’s gone, the secondary compounds can be seen. Pigment Class------Compound Type--------------Colors Porphyrin..............chlorophyll...........................green Carotenoid............carotene and lycopene...........yellow, orange, red Carotenoid............xanthophyll..........................yellow flavonoid...............flavone...............................yellow flavonoid...............flavonol...............................yellow flavonoid...............anthocyanin.........................red, blue, purple, magenta Ain't it purdy as a calendar picher.

Thanks for the chem class Bruce,
At the master gardner class the guy doing the basic botany lecture told us that (My memory may be a bit dodgy here–– botanists beware) Chlorophyl in plants is actually its own organism which has developed a symbiotic relationship with plants. Somewhere along the evolutionary highway(oops, I forgot about our new mandate, my bad. I meant along the CREATIONIST highway) anyway, chlorophyl seems to have hitched a ride and now won't get out of the car. I scanned that leaf. Another of my mad projects is to mount one of my view camera lenses to my scanner and make a $100. large format digital camera. No shortage of ideas or hare brained schemes, just where is the time?

404, That is where the term "riot of color" comes from.
Wow. I miss CT autumns, they seemed to pace themselves better than upstate NY. BOOM. Winter. Carebear, What do duck eggs taste like? (please don't say chicken) I love pecans. How is OK?

Uh, yeah. Speaking of BOOM, Winter, I just stepped outside to snap this picture of what CT looks like tonight. Guess the foliage season is over.

I've actually never tried them. Supposedly you have to get the egg 1-3 days after it is layed for it to be edible, and we don't check that often. Although, with our last pair of ducks (we had to give them away because we mistakenly got them obese by feeding them catfood) our neighbor took a few eggs home to eat. I should ask them how they tasted sometime. Oklahoma is having really strange weather right now, but it's really nothing surprising, we get strange weather alot. And that picture of pecans I took was from a 20 pound bag of them we gathered out back. 5 pecan trees produce alot. One pecan tree is merged with a berry tree and produces some odd colored pecans, but no taste difference unfortunately. |

Duck eggs have a little stronger taste than chicken eggs. Anyone for 1000 year old eggs? Chinease or Vietnamese. Not really that old, but yuk

404,
Wow, That ghostly looking tree is so great! I'm seeing that as wall art. Looks like the garden is down for the winter. I've still got frozen tomatoes hanging on brown stems. bad bad.

Carebear,
I've heard that chicken tastes like rattlesnake I like to collect walnuts. I put the husks in a 5 gallon pail with plain household ammonia and it makes a great walnut stain/dye. For wood or clothes. I don't think pecans grow in zone 4 (-20ºf to -30ºf) Yeah, Buster, I wonder who thought up the idea for burying eggs in the ground until they were funkier than gym socks. Who was so hungry that when they found some old eggs that had been layed in a pile of manure and been forgotten about, they said: I'm gonna eat these? I don't want to be that hungry.
