Leafsnap

Daughter L made this fun treats for a party she hosted one weekend.  They are shown on small saucers to give you an idea of the size.

corn dogs and one with just cheese

zucchini brownie with berry compote


The Canadian Wildlife Federation has released this app in collaboration with Columbia University in Maryland and the Smithsonian Institution.  You can download it on your ipad or iphone.  So if you take a photo of any leaf, it will identify the tree for you and give you other information about the tree.  I downloaded it, so once the leaves return, I hope to be able to identify this tree that sprouted beside my kitchen window many years ago.  I can't wait.

The treats look yummy. And there are some really cool apps available nowadays. My daughter showed me one that can identify a song and the artist for you. I pointed the phone to the music playing on the radio and it searched and came back with a title. Very cool.

Your daughter is a gem. What a fine cook she is.
Good luck with the app. When the tree has leaves, why not photograph it and tell us what the app says it is.
