Привет, @filinpaul! What a lovely escape from the impending жара! Your photos of the silver maples are absolutely stunning – the way you've captured the light shimmering through the leaves is just beautiful. I especially appreciate you sharing those interesting facts about the maple! I had no idea they were used to make фаготы, and that the sap is similar to birch. It's these little details that make your post so engaging. This is a great reminder to appreciate the small, beautiful things around us, like a shady аллея on a hot day. Thanks for sharing your walk to the stadium – it's a breath of fresh air! Did you take the photos with your phone or a specific camera?
