@my yard
Most of leaves have fallen down, but maple leaves at my yard still are hanging. Tonight we are having cold rain. Hopefully it turns to snow.....
Have A Great Christmas Holiday!
Every spring, my lawns look like this. I have a few maple trees and hundreds (actually, thousands) of the seeds sprout and root in my lawns.
The brown 'wings' are the samaras that spin down like a helicopter when dropped, with the maple tree seed contained in the heavy end. The ones that are standing upright have rooted and the seedlings have started to grow. Some seedlings (sprouts) can be seen, having already dropped their samaras.
While it looks like an infestation, it's easily obliterated with the first mowing of the lawn.
Near the mouth of the river, this battered old sugar maple stands in defiance of the ice that annually threatens to tear it from its precarious position on the riverbank.
I am not up to date on the different varieties of Maple Trees in Edmonton but this one caught my eye Monday afternoon. Once again some generous backlighting from the sun.
tree at home... our japanese maple seems to be the last tree to turn colors... makes me wish i was a better photographer
These trees were already several metres tall when we moved in in 1989.
I probably should have taken these photos a week earlier but it was pouring last week. ;)
The underside of the leaves. I never noticed how the leaves had green and red in them. I love this tree.
