Re: Great!Thanks!
Khyber Pass? Isn't that located in western Asia. I always thought you were from Alaska.
Anyway, I'm glad you like my photo of leaves
dying and slowly wasting away.

They arenot dying, of course! Just preparing for winter. I always felt this was a flawed comparison.

Re: They are...Extremely valid point, Ejnar!
As young lads, we always thought winter was a
time of death and darkness.
Isn't it amazing how deciduous trees know
how to prepare themselves for winter, even
though winter hasn't arrived yet ???

Re: They are...Yes indeed. I must admit that I don't know enough plant physiology to understand how they do it, maybe they form some chemical that makes the leaves wither and fall of when the days grow shorter? Here it is even more strange because we have deciduous oaks and evergreen oaks growing close to another!

Re: They are...I'm not a plant physiologist either, but some
of those trees seem to have a systematic way
of knowing when to shed their leaves or needles or whatever.
I still remember my childhood days, when the
little freckled-face red-haired boy from
the opposite side of town yelled in my ear,
"Look at all them stinking leaves on the ground, they must be DEAD or something !!!"

Aspen MatchGreat gold. But some mountain ashes would go better with the caption.:)

Re: Aspen MatchArizona's San Francisco Volcanic Field supports a wide variety of deciduous and evergreen trees, but no Mountain ash.
This photo came close to becoming Photo-Of-The-Day, but there seems to be a wider cross-section of people voting on snow-covered meadows and snow-capped mountains.
Personally, I HATE snow, but that's why I moved to Arizona !!! : )))

Re: Aspen MatchPersonally, I don't mind snow as long as it's red-HOT! As to the mountain ashes, I'm afraid I can't help and will never be any more helpful since I'm planning on my ashes being sent to the Carpathians. :D

Re: Aspen Match...Before being reduced to ashes, you might want
to take on the shape-shifting abilities of
The Raven.

Re: Aspen Match...Do the native specialists offer any online courses in shape-shifting?
lcarreau - Oct 24, 2009 6:53 pm - Hasn't voted
Re: Aspen Match...Nope, unfortunately not !
However, in Slavic mythology, werewolves and other "human to animals" shape-shifting activities are actually quite rare.
That's probably why my matriarch ancestors
from the 'old country' spoke very little of their own shape-shifting abilities.
There are a few "self-proclaimed" Wellness
groups who are actively recruiting people
for participation in "Sweat Lodge Meditation."
Personally, I haven't considered "Sweat Lodge Meditation," because I work up enough
sweat on my hikes here in Arizona.
(And ... I'm assuming my 'Karma Rating' to
actually be quite high).

Re: Aspen Match...I guess my karma rating must've been rather low then since I'm not a "werebear" although I've been trying hard to behave like an old bear recently. :-)

Re: Aspen MatchYeah ... should have moved off the entire
planet if I hate snow ... Global Warming
seems to be kicking in with a VENGEANCE.

Re: Nice...Thanks - lighting is a good thing to have around just before taking a picture.
"Lightning" would be a bad thing to have
around when taking a picture. : ))
