Edited with Capture NX, which I recommend for Nikon users, not so much as a stand alone, but as an adjunct to something like Elements.

最近忙得頭昏腦脹，越發懷念起在京都的那段悠閒日子。

This is one of the trees in my front yard and it has tiny flowers before the seed develop.. Some call them Helicopters others call them Keys and all in all they are just the seed and If you aren't careful you will have a lot more maple tree starts... Happy Sliders Sunday, Everybody!!

I just do not tire of autumn leaves.

I’m very happy that these Japanese maples are coming back to full health. No longer deteriorating, they have been fenced in for a few years to keep people from sitting on their branches. They are even more beautiful in the spring and fall!

Years ago all I knew was that these clumps were really messy when the leaves started coming on the tree.. I took some macro shots of them and was totally surprised to find that they were the flowers that produced the seed, Keys, for the new trees.. Ain't Mum Nature Grand?

An autumn Japanese maple. This is NOT the the famous maple tree in the Portland Japanese garden (that everyone has a photo of).

it won't be here long

This tree stands at the end of the driveway and is pretty old. Most of its leaves are gone now.Spent the afternoon raking up 3 barrels and 6 Home Depot bags of leaves. And that's just from the driveway and walkways. But a good day to be out!
