Acer saccharum - sugar maple, rock maple, hard maple

It's called an "October Glory" maple, but at this latitude it never reaches peak color until November. After 11 years, it's really starting to fulfill its potential in my front yard.

Our Autumn Blaze Maple, blazing in Autumn

Over 1 foot. On the day of delivery, it will be prepared with love, not unlike a stork package.

It was a wet and miserable day yesterday, but in between the heavy rain, the sun would try to come out, and it felt quite warm. I'm trying not to bore everyone with photos of my maple, but the colours, shapes and light, bring out my creative side lol

Maple leaf in the snow

Not as pretty as in past years because of some dry weather we had later in the summer but still pretty, lots of leaves dropped before they really could turn good. We also are having trouble with the Asiatic Beetle which is infesting a lot of trees. The warmer summers up here are not helping the Sugar Maples. :( In years past they looked healthier than this. I am very concerned that after awhile we will no longer have our beautiful Sugar Maples here, they are dying rapidly and only maybe northern New England and Canada will have them. :(

Acer griseum, or paperbark maple, has wonderful peeling bark.

Maple at evening sun. Summer.

This tree is in my parents yard and has many childhood memories for me.

Firemen hosing down the rubble so demolition can continue. My last shot from Maple.

(It's not that often one gets to do key-flash in daylight, but this lunchtime seemed a perfect opportunity to take advantage of contrasty sunlight. With a flash sync-speed of 1/160s, f/8 sufficed to position the overall shot darker by a stop whilst letting the foreground catch the flash light nicely, whilst maintaining the desired fairly narrow depth of field (relative to the background distance). Two shots, aligned in Hugin, blended with enfuse and processed to smithereens in darktable and digiKam as usual.)
