POW! And We're Off!

Yes, foliage fans, it has begun. Recumbent Conspiracy Theorist sent the first SARATS submission yesterday!






From his email:
Hello Rantwick fellow foliage freak. The leaves have peaked decently here in north central Ohio but like you noted today on your blog today I also am not seeing the vibrant color I remember from last year on my dearest old man maple. I went out this weekend on my bike to photograph my favorite specimen for the smackdown and ended up riding around for nearly two hours taking pictures on a beautiful afternoon. As I've gotten older fall has become my favorite season and as you know there is no better way than to enjoy it than on a bicycle.

My submission is a huge maple about a 1/2 mile from my house I pass often when my chosen route takes me in a westerly direction. Like I said not as stunning as I remember from last year but a tree-juice winning contender none the less.
 
Agreed, RCT, and thanks for getting us started! For more pictures from RCT's tree tour, hit his blog at http://kd8jhj.blogspot.com/2011/10/sharpest-tool-in-shed.html .

Wow, you're off to a great start. Thanks for pointing me at his blog, too, I hadn't seen it before.

Yeah, he's into some pretty interesting stuff... radio has always fascinated me.

Geez, I must learn to proof-read one of these days.
-Thanks for the shout out Rantwick.
