Took a few shots today of the Japanese maple outside of my house, now that it's opened up for the season. I liked the contrast that was already there and thought maybe a moody paper texture would enhance it. I ended up using a stained piece of cardboard as the texture. I like the way it came out.
hint for taking a good photo in kyoto in the fall: look for the spots where like a dozen people have set up tripods and are laboriously waiting for the perfect moment. of course, i took this in 2 seconds.
Construction is moving along at our newest elementary school construction project Maple Grove!
Construction crews are working on installing heating and cooling units for classrooms, painting the second floor, and installing flooring.
The new elementary school will open to students at the start of the 2022-23 school year.
I love how the sun glows through the hanging seeds of the Manitoba maples in winter. I've tried a few times to photograph this, but it's difficult to capture.

This maple tree, in my neighbor's yard, is responsible for probably half of the leaves that need to be raked in my yard each fall. And then, in the spring, it drops its green flowers everywhere, and then the "helicopters." Last Saturday I shoveled and bagged about 4 bags worth of wet helicopters (along with the wet, partly decomposed flowers), getting the worst of them off my driveway. Today, my parents came to visit to help with some other yard work, including cleaning out my back gutters, which had turned into a baby maple nursery!
