A few maple leaves were seen in the scrubby bush. They were pretty big on a small tree.

The last maple leaf on the branch and it is pointed southward. I will be away from Flickr for a while. Continue to enjoy pressing the shutter button and posting your photos.
Last year for Canada Day I did a version of the flag from a photo of a maple leaf that I had taken. I will see if I can find it and put it n Comments.
This year, I decided to change to colours in consideration of the recent findings of unmarked graves of First Nations children.

I have noticed in the past few days that the leaves have really started to fall from the trees. We have had a beautiful autumn season.

Zen maple leaf
Kokedera (moss temple), called Koinzan Saihoji is a beautiful temple in the mountains of Kyoto and a UNESCO site. It was originally a villa from the Asuka Period (538-710), and after it fell into disrepair it was converted to a Zen temple by Muso Soseki who created its gardens. Over the centuries, the deep carpet of mosses (120 species that thrive in the wet mountain climate) that it is famous for gradually took over the original white sand of the gardens when there were no funds for upkeep. I loved how the falling maple leaves lay on the deep carpet of mosses, surrounded by dried cypress needles. An advance reservation is needed to visit the temple and it can take weeks to get permission.

At first, I thought this was the lucky last leaf on the tree, but then I noticed it was just a caught leaf. I am sure it will still bring me luck! :-)
Yesterday: sun and a belly shot. Joy!
Today, more rain. I love rain, and we moved to the Pacific Northwest knowing we'd have plenty of rain to soothe my soul. Rain just doesn't make for much contrast. And deciduous trees have lost their leaves, hence looking for them on the ground after a rain.
May I take this opportunity to express my hope for the incoming new president and beautiful vice president? It has been a long siege and a bit wearing on the spirits, even on my own photography.
Please join me in wearing a mask! (How can science be a partisan issue here?!)

This leaf is from my favorite maple tree, that resides in my backyard. I am so fortunate that this tree can still produce such beauty. We have been through some rough patches.
I stand before you on this particular evening...the sun is setting...and its light is shinning through you, exposing every detail of your beauty especially in this leaf...which has unfolded in all its majestic potential. A number of your kind are still pushing out...waiting to stretch as you have!
In these unusual times, it is this kind of beauty....paying attention to the ordinary that is extra ordinary...because the forces that shape my awareness have drawn me to you...here are now. Why, do I burst in joy? I am not standing before a mighty ocean...but before you, a simple leaf...and yet the overwhelming feelings are the same.
May I always carry this awareness...this unfolding of creation, in its smallest expression...enfolding me in a liturgical experience...and I fall silent!

Very upsetting news to learn of Leonard's passing.
The world has one less great musician and poet...
We thank you for your music and songs...

Come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again....
