Just bought a new Camera: The Nikon D80 with the 18-200VR Lens. WoW !

When I went to pick up my nice piece of black acrylic the other day, I saw this lovely little sugar maple leaf on the parking lot. I rescued it from nasty car tiresand careless feet and brought it home. Sugar maple is the leaf used on the Canadian flag, for folkses who did not know. They SHOULD be much more colourful and quite a bit bigger but with such a dry summer and last winter, they are neither big enough nor bright enough but this one is pretty and I am glad I saw it!

I went back to the beginning of October to find this mountain maple leaf photo from a rainy day in St Charles Canyon, Idaho. There was so much wonderful fall color this year that I will have to post a photo occasionally.

Alright, dumping the rest of my 2816 photos now. Here the train heads east to Portage at the infamous spot. We did try to find an angle in the woods above, but couldn't find an opening, so we decided to join the chaos down below. I'm sure the amount of cameras at this spot were in the triple digits.

It became the season of maple red in Shizuoka.

A lot of maple trees can be seen in the slope of mountain.

My aunt gave me this Japanese Maple. I like to post pictures every so often so she can see how it is doing. Taken April 22, 2008.

I would print this as my home wallpaper :D

I was sitting watching birds when I realized that watching this tree as the sunlight caught the leaves was even better.

Autumn

Taken from below at Butchart Gardens, where the subtle backlight emphasized the red of the maple seeds against the leaves. Simplified with Topaz to help bring out shapes and depth of what was a somewhat chaotic image.

The maple trees coming out look like the maple trees in autumn

Different species of maple seeds. Sure sign of spring! Love the details and subtle diversity. Found beside the driveway.

The maples also looked shining in the moss-covered garden.

Morning autumn sun lights up a roadside maple not far from home ... it's lovely to get out and drive the sideroads in fall.
