x 3 exposure HDR of maples in my garden

Annual shot of the maple tree in my parents front yard.

Every year it explodes with colour.....

I have had this species come to the lights for 15 seasons. I finally found a caterpillar in the yard on one of the Maple saplings down by the road.

Kew began as an exotic garden for Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury. It was enlarged and extended by Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales (widow of Frederick, Prince of Wales) - this extension included various structures designed by Sir William Chambers. In 1840 the gardens were adopted as a national botanical garden. Under Kew's director, William Hooker, the gardens were increased to 75 acres and the pleasure grounds, or arboretum, extended by 270 acres, and later to its present size (300 acres). The first curator was botanist John Smith (1798–1888).

I got another tree for the backyard - one of those slow-growing red maples with the wispy little leaves. I love red malpes - I now have three different types in my backyard - this type is very slow growing and does not get very big.
