Sorry to get you craving chocolate and peanut butter... ; )<br /><br />Kelly - I'll take that "woodsy heritage" any day!<br /><br />Monika - They are an interesting looking fruit. Glad the post was informative for you.<br /><br />Gabrielle - It's always fun to take along those who enjoy the ride! Come along any time!<br /><br />Mary - So good to see you, thanks for stopping by. Glad you like the facelift here. I use the Minima Stretch template and made the width of the main posting element larger than 800 pixels (I'd have to look at my code to see the exact dimensions). I mostly use Picasa for uploading my pics (also by pasting some code), but Picasa handles the resizing for me. I'm not familiar with Flickr, so I don't know how uploading from there works. Sorry I can't be of more help!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047972160037024989.post-1645751209356676642009-10-13T15:29:25.338-04:002009-10-13T15:29:25.338-04:00Heather,

I would love to know what template you are using and how you were able to enlarge your photos so well without distorting them. I haven't found a way to enlarge mine without some trouble. I understand there are many ways to enlarge them (I upload from Flickr, copy and paste the html code into my blog and edit the sizes there.) My template won't allow sizes are great as yours!<br /><br />Awesome photos.<br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047972160037024989.post-56297893841009039912009-10-12T22:55:11.575-04:002009-10-12T22:55:11.575-04:00That's really cool, seeing the still-ripening ...That's really cool, seeing the still-ripening fruits. I love your child-like curiosity (the mark of a true naturalist) and that we get to follow along.

You have some beautiful shots of them, too. Thanks for the history as well, I always wondered where "Buckeye state" came from.Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442975942250078450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047972160037024989.post-31611902199283864502009-10-12T00:23:33.989-04:002009-10-12T00:23:33.989-04:00...loved the post!!

His opposition made fun of his woodsy heritage, and he decided to go with it...totally campaigning with the stereotype and winning! It's interesting!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047972160037024989.post-31902712144700301632009-10-11T22:50:12.191-04:002009-10-11T22:50:12.191-04:00Well, that is fascinating.

Even though your map would indicate it was a true buckeye, you never know whether you've got a rogue on your hands! I'll have to check it out next time I am near it.<br />The pictures you took made me hungry! For the candy, that is : )Meghttp://www.artofrustic.comnoreply@blogger.com
