This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Edit:
Just realized the correct name for the tree is actually maple.

False friend caused mistake because its name is "Ahorn" in German.
Keeping the heading as it is, because it is funny, although it might trigger the Canadians (sorry, dudes!).

I, too, always have difficulties calling these thingies flowers! Blossom is actually the prefered term for trees I believe? Some of them just don't look flowery at all.

What caused the rapid fall? Wind?

What caused the rapid fall? Wind?

We had a weather change from very warm and sunny to colder and rainy over night.
That might have played a role here.
