This is what our big, yellow maple leaves look like a while after they fall. They get all papery and eventually fall apart, unlike the oak leaves, which never seem to decompose.
Pile of oak leaves
Part of last fall’s leaf cleanup effort, which I never quite complete. Many of them are still out there, safe for a while under a blanket of snow.
Float pile
A colorful collection of fishing floats in my parents’ yard.
Another nice tree in our yard – this dogwood’s got pretty white flowers in the spring and the leaves turn this fiery mottled red and yellow in the fall.
Photopress and Lightbox 2
Thanks to Steven for telling me about this issue!
Lightbox 2 has a cool feature where it’ll automagically add code to images in your posts so they’ll work with Lightbox. This is great until it runs into the Photopress album and breaks stuff. To fix this easily, you can turn off the auto-lightbox feature in the Lightbox 2 settings. But what if you like auto-lightboxing?
The function that does auto-lightboxing is around line 60 of lightbox2.php. Adding this “if” to detect the Photopress album (actually “pp_wrap”) and avoid auto-lightboxing seems to do the trick:
function autoexpand_rel_wlightbox ($content) {
/*add this--->*/ if ( strstr($content, 'pp_wrap') ) { return $content; }
Of course, then you’d need to re-do this hack every time you upgrade Lightbox 2…
