Weee~!  A universal tree, well, almost.  They are found in Germany, Russia, North America, and are imported in flower form to places like the Philippines.  It can be used as a medical source, paper, and has flowers and fruits.  It is the state tree of New Hampshire, and the national tree of Russia.  It is also the tree in the Land of the Dead in Gaelic folklore.  On the eve of May 1st in Germany, men decorate the birch in front of their love interests...  Perfect for my project~

I'm going to be toggling through all the designs, posting new improved stuff.  Since I am grounded to the CalArts campus because of the lack of a car, I thought I would take pictures of the nice after-rain environment Autumn was leaving us today.  I think I might reference the bark in the trees, and the berries.  I have to think about what kinds of fall leaves I want; I do know I'm going to use birch trees.

Some are saturated, and some are desaturated depending on the picture taken.  I think this is the first time I've seen the leaves turn this bright red in Cali:
