Maple Tree Beauty

Maple Tree Beauty

this is the gorgeous maple tree in our friend's front garden, directly opposite our house. Only just realized this tree was there, so had a great time capturing loads of images of these beautiful red maple leaves "our Emblem Dear, the Maple Leaf Forever", as our anthem goes.

taken on a foggy day. the cedar tree trunk at the side of this photo is a wonderful tall tree in their garden also

thanks very much, Beverly, for the very nice comments. I always liked these maple leaf photos, meant to capture more this autumn, (across the street at neighbour's), but missed it this time.

Another beautiful picture to brighten my day. :)

thanks very much, Solaria : )

Didn't save any of these leaves, as had saved some similar a short time before, and they just dried right out, so didn't think to save any of these. I think they change colour once dried, not so vivid red

This is a spectacular photograph. The bright of the red, and the muted tones of the background.

Just wonderful.

Hope you saved one of the leaves.

thanks very much, Alan, it's my pleasure, and thanks also for taking time to praise my photos. Those leaves were beautiful to behold in the neighbours front garden, just saw them by chance, as they are hidden by shrubs from the road, so went home and got my camera

Wow those are some red leaves, they look like there popping out of the photo. Better make sure you have lots of red ink before you print this one out :>)

Thanks very much Alandra for all your wondrous comments on my photos. They make me want to get out and take more photos and push myself even more.

thanks again, Kathy for the nice comments, always appreciated : ) good idea about the fallen leaves also, would be especially nice if they got some frost on them too

This is such a pretty shot Alandra! These trees are so beautiful in Autumn. Stick around because when they drop their leaves, the ground beneath looks striking too!

thanks Les & Susan from NZ, and Karen. yes, you're right Les, about the maple leaf being on our nation's flag. I love it.

thanks Madeson and Alex : )

the colour was stunning, esp when the leaves were moist from the fog, just like scarlet paint

Very pretty Alandra. No wonder the maple leaf is on your flag. A great photo

I like the contrast of those scarlet leaves against the brown tree trunk. Very pretty.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Nov 24, 2005 at 3:18 PM said:

thanks Carol, can't believe we didn't see this tree before, but it's hidden behind the taller shrubs at front of garden. From now onwards, we'll be watching for it. It's stunning
