I love that my yellow maple leaves were raining down on my red ones. I had to grab my camera quickly to capture it while there was still nice morning sunlight.
Maple Tree Square, Gastown, Vancouver - Statue of Gassy Jack Deighton, founder of Vancouver. He was a Canadian bar owner who was born in Hull, England. He started out as a Steamship operator for many years of his early life. However he was eventually forced to pursue other lines of work once he developed health problems (swelling of the legs and feet).
Between 1862 and 1867 John Deighton ran a bar in New Westminster, British Columbia. It was quite prosperous due to the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1862, however by 1867 business slowed down and he had to close it down.
He later opened a bar on the south side of Burrard Inlet at the behest of his old friend, Captain Edward Stamp, the owner of the Hastings Mill. He later named it the Globe Saloon. He came to the area with little more than 6 dollars to his name, a few simple pieces of furniture, his Native wife whose name has been lost to the years and a yellow dog. The bar was built by idle sawmill workers in exchange for all the whiskey they could drink in one sitting (the nearest drinking hole was 25 miles away). [2] His patrons were mainly sailors and workers from the nearby sawmill. This bar was demolished when the townsite of Granville was established and was afterwards rebuilt as Deighton House. Jack's native wife died, but he remarried to her 12-year-old niece Quahail-ya, also known as Madeline or Matrine. Brother Tom Deighton and his wife took over the business in 1874 and John began working the steamship that plied the Fraser River. However after a family quarrel a few months later John resumed management of the saloon and operated it until he had gotten ill and died at the age of 44 on May 23, 1875.
Deighton was known as Gassy Jack because of his talkative nature and his penchant for storytelling. The name stuck and the area around his bar is now known as Gastown.

Found this tree on the side of the road... couldn't resist the gorgeous colors. See, the problem with most trees that change is they have lost over half their leaves before they get really good color. Or, they turn brown and fall off with no color. So it's rare to find a great maple like this that's in full change with all it's leaves still attached!
Caught the maple leave at late Dec, 2014 and proceed to the color transformation artwork through the mobile digital retouching software at mobile phone. Hope you enjoy them & have a nice weeekend, my friends.
The classsic Maple leaf has more interest as its bright colors begin to fade.

Two different maples in the parking lot at work. The red one is planted as part of the landscaping and the yellow one is a remnant from the forest that covered the site before the building and parking lot were constructed.
