(34.365) The end of the Japanese Maple Challenge! has finally come. Shooting the same tree every day for seven days presents a fun and unique challenge - being both remarkably easy and difficult all at once.

I was hoping to come up with something different today, but time and weather weren't cooperating with me. So I ended up with this macro. I can't say for sure what I wished this picture was, but maybe when I do, you'll see it on here.

Now back to finding other subjects for the 365 Project. Only 331 days to go.

i love the oxidised detail toward the edges of the leaf.

If I remember correctly, this is Ruthie, mother to Louie, miniature Spanish Donkeys. They are both very friendly, and will come to the fence to say hi, and look for a scratch or two, but, Louie is the jealous type, and bigger than his mom, so he sometimes pushes her away.

BORN 1882. DIED 1890. A wooden grave marker covered in lichen. It's amazing you can still read it after 120 years.

Went on a photo trip with the OCC, Orangeville Camera Club, to Algonquin Park.

We all had a great time hiking the trails along the corridor.

From my backyard - I like the way they looked.

2010/06/22: Look for abstract shapes and designs today. Make a photo of a subject everyone has seen that's not easily recognizable. #ds219

A Maple leave on our parking lot.

I love the bright reds on a Maple tree. We have one right across the street in front of the school and I found these three that made me think of papa, mama and baby leaf.

These leafs provide a very scenic backdrop in the fall.

I warmed this one up a bit, but I confess I did like the cold, magenta colors in it before I did. I didn't think it was very realistic that way (though probably was accurate), at least how our eyes expect leaves to look.
