We don't have the glorious Maple leaves that some parts of Canada have, that turn a rich red in the fall. Our fall colours are mainly yellow with an occasional splash of orange. There are two species here that I sometimes see that remind me of what we are missing - wild Gooseberry and the plant/shrub that is in this photo. I'm not sure what it is, but perhaps some kind of currant bush? Just a quick shot, taken on 20 September 2014, when I was walking along the path to see the family of Beavers. I haven't been there for quite some time, so I hope all is well with them.
I actually got out on a birding walk yesterday morning, a rare thing for me these days. We walked along the path in South Glenmore Park, overlooking the Glenmore Reservoir. We found only 20 species of bird, mainly the usual ones such as Chickadees, Crows, Ravens, Coots, Robins, and Nuthatches. However, we were lucky enough to see an immature Pacific Loon that was out in the middle of the reservoir. Then it disappeared and, for a brief couple of seconds, reappeared somewhat closer to us. I was able to get just one 48x zoomed shot, heavily cropped, that I might post sometime, as that was my first "proper" sighting of a Pacific Loon. So amazing to see how long these Loons can stay underwater and then reappear such a long distance away. We also were treated to two Common Loons that flew overhead. Though we saw so few birds and bird species, it was a beautiful, sunny morning, with temperatures of 10°C to 16°C.
カエデ Japanese-maple
富士吉田、山梨県 Yamanashi, Japan
この木は回廊のカエデと違い一本で立っていた。
仲間に支えられる事も無く一人で風雨や雪に耐えて年輪を重ねた無骨な枝と陽に輝く繊細な葉の織りなすバランスに心惹かれたのでした。
Maple Leaf Pasta Shells
This composition of pasta shells kept reminding of a maple leaf and once that thought takes hold, it's hard to shake.
Storm Dennis kept me indoors so macro work on the kitchen table passed the time.
Japanese Garden | Seattle Arboretum
Went to the Japanese Garden yesterday in the Arboretum. The Fall foliage was beyond stunning. This is one of the more popular Japanese maple trees just beyond the entrance to the garden. The light was coming from the left and lighting up the leaves with a fire of color. Best viewed full screen.
I just came from my trip to Fushoshan Farm this evening. The maple were just partly red. It turned red later than last year since we did not get much rain this autumn. However, it was a great family trip with my parents and sister.
今年福壽山的楓葉紅得比去年晚，大約只紅了3成左右，據說是因為今年秋天雨水少。儘管如此，還是趟愉快的家族旅行～

Green house effects have kept us to see Japanese maple still in December.
But this evening we are expecting a cold weather will cover the whole Japan. So Japanese Sea side area will have a heavy snowfall.
The delicate veins of the autumnal leaf. The rest of the leaf has been removed with a semiconductor etch.
