Born January 27, 1975, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I have just completed a year of teacher's college, at the University of Toronto, and am looking forward to gainful employment. Most of my recent writings can be found at Epinions.com.
The acorn is the nut of the oak tree and its close relatives, in the family Fagaceae. Acorns usually contain a seedling surrounded by two cotyledons (seedling leaves), enclosed in a tough shell known as the pericarp, and borne in a cup-shaped cupule. This acorn of the species Quercus robur (the pedunculate oak), with a length of 25 millimetres (1 inch), was photographed in Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
