Japanese Maple tree or Acer palmatum "Scarlet Princess" in Bucharest, Romania

Not exactly sure what it is about these small trees that I find so intriguing, but every time I visit my local garden center with my camera, I find myself drawn to them. Perhaps it's the rich color of the leaves, or even how delicate they seem in a slight breeze. I wish I had one in my yard, but they are expensive and my yard is not that big. In any case, this shot provided me with a very interesting bokeh.

My neighbor's tree two days before heavy rains knocked all the leaves off.

It's funny how we are always looking for the next photo opportunity. As I was cutting the grass yesterday, I looked up and was inspired. The colors remind me of fall, but the Japanese Maple tree Is green on the underside and turns burgundy toward the top where the sun hits. Leeds, Alabama

I created this Bokeh with my Petzval 58 mm Bokeh Lens. This was made using the little lights on my Christmas tree.

There is a maple tree in CT that I always like to visit in the fall. It always drops the nicest reddest leaves.

I've always enjoyed the maple blooms of early Spring & the wonderful contrast between the red blossoms & the blue sky. On April 12, 2009, in Yorktown Heights, New York, USA, I was able to find a young tree with low branches & get a close-up view!

This belongs to my Maple Study series. All the maple tree shots happened around the same maple tree within about 20 minutes on November 18, 2007.

You tell her that it's M-A-P-L-E.

You ask her if she knows a maple tree.

Well, you were named after a maple tree. - Robert Frost

I took this picture in the morning soon after the sun had risen.

I visited the Seattle Japanese Garden in search of colorful foliage. The amazing tree at the entrance to the garden never fails to deliver!

Back lit by the afternoon sunshine.

I bet a lot of the Maple Leaves will be down after this rainy, windy weekend, but don't worry I still have more leaf photos!
