Saying goodbye to an old friend of this blog: today I discovered a stump where my favorite old sycamore maple used to grow. It wasn’t in perfect health but I always liked seeing it. Let this post be its memorial.

In contrast, woody species have a more prolonged juvenile phase, in some cases lasting 30 or 40 years (Table 20.1).

Meet Maple and Sycamore, Amber's newest member of her dragon family! They are a Mimic Leaf dragon, a rare dragon to find, mostly just because of how easily they blend into the environment. They are seasonal, which means that they change colors when the season changes. They change colors with the environment easily, so they could chill on a branch and blend into the tree, as evident by my last post. They are absolute sweethearts as well, as their main preference for food is fruit, but will also eat small rodents and other small animals.

In order, Summer, Spring, and Winter. Fall is the first photo.

They started as a very pale green, but became a much more bright green as they grew. Currently in Amber's story, they are only a juvenile, so they're still growing. They won't get too big, this type of dragon is more of a medium sized dragon. Under the cut is them when they are adults:

I have made 33 bowls so far and I think I'm getting pretty good at it!

sycamore tree snippet #14

from chapter 19: "Maple"

The first thing Lucy registered upon waking up is that she had woken up at all—something rather miraculous given how little sleep she got in the motel.

The second thing she registered was that she was not, in fact, in the motel anymore, and she figured that probably had a lot to do with how she’d managed to sleep for… an as yet undetermined length of time.

The third thing she registered was rope around her wrists and ankles binding her to a chair while an exceptionally displeased [woman] stared her down.

“What the hell is this?” Lucy asked, tugging on the binds and glaring up at [the woman] in a desperate attempt to mask her terror with indignation.

My brother is a tree surgeon but knows nothing about tree species (he knows what he needs to know about trees - he’s skilled and competent) and as a gardener/horticulturist/botanist it drives me up the wall when I ask ‘oh what did you chop down’ and he responds ‘a maple and a sycamore’ bro that clarifies very little. Or worse still ‘oh I dunno’ can you show me a leaf. A bud even. Sometimes even a bud scar is enough. Give me something to satisfy my curiosity
