Maple Madness

[AlanLichty]

We have a Japanese Maple in our yard that has never been meticulously pruned like the ones you see in formal gardens but they do have some fantastic fall colors even if the tree isn't artistically shaped. A lot of the leaves have changed and dropped already but some lower portions of the tree still have leaves that haven't fully changed yet. I decided to see what I could do to capture some of the fun colors in between passing showers and squalls yesterday with cloudy skies to moderate the range of light in the frame.

C&C always welcome.

Nice colors. We have one in our yard but has shed most of its leaves. What is left is likely going tomorrow as it forecasted to be windy.

Thanks Jameel - Neat trees even when you just let them grow normally. I suspect there won't be much left on any trees after this week's upcoming storms.

Thanks Kurt - on the west side of the Cascades having a lush garden is easy. The hard part is continuously hacking it back

Beautiful color! Nice upward view with a bit of sky poking through.

Thanks Michael - shooting up was the best way to get the backlighting I wanted from the leaves.
