Maple leaves in Autumn.

They're astonishingly red.

Our deck was put together over a 6 month span with 6 different kinds of wood. The base is oak,the floor is pecan,the posts and rail are cedar with regular pine for the under carrage,and the "natural look" limbs in between is a mixture of Hickory and maple..

I tiptoed around SpringHill on a misty October morning and captured muted colors against a pale blue sky. You'll find interior images, too, reflecting those same dusky hues. There's no place like Michigan in autumn!

We have three maple trees in our yard. One has green leaves that turn bright yellow in autumn. The one shown in this photo has dark red leaves that turn this lighter red/orange colour in autumn.

Japanese Maple in my garden.

The illusion of separateness is perpetuated through our interpretations of the seen.

We observe Reality manifesting in what appear to be separate, discrete parts -- without recognizing the inherent inseparability and interdependence of everything appearing before us.

When we focus, instead, on... the connective tissue of Reality, the invisible Source from which, and the Background against which everything shows up, the illusion of separateness is

naturally and inevitably dispelled -- even as the appearance of duality remains.

There are a few maples here!

I've been trying to capture the glow of the Japanese Maple in it's winter wardrobe change but none of the shots really do it justice and Saturday was the day all the leaves dropped off in a matter of hours.

A small maple tree that's growing amongst a lily of the valley bed in the back yard.

Fall colours at Forks of the Credit Provincial Park, near Caledon, Ontario.

This was a quick demo shot using the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II lens. I did crop in the edges slightly (so it's not the full 14mm angle of view that was native out of the camera).

The sun was in a nice position for this. Tragically the telephone wire was in a bad position for this.
