As I started to paint this picture my mind split into thousands of multicolored fragments,under the skies that sometimes dazzle like faceted sapphires or turquoises.and other colors that have yet no name,, that sometimes are molded of infernal, hot, noxious, and blinding sulfurs; under skies like streams of red hot molten metals and crystal glasses, sometimes, expose radiating, torrid solar disks;hotter than the flaming red orange sun, under the incessant and formidable streaming of every conceivable effect of light,and darkness, in heavy, flaming, burning atmospheres that seem to be exhaled from fantastic furnaces where gold and diamonds and similar gems are volatilized--there is the disquieting and disturbing display of a strange nature, that is at once entirely realistic, and yet almost supernatural, of an excessive nature where everything--beings and things, shadows and lights, forms and colours such are just a few ideas that swirl in my burning skull while I play with the pigments before my weary eyes,
I found this stunning tree at the Cylburn Arboretum in Baltimore and the sun was in a the right place to give it's canopy a wonderful illumination. To get the shot I actually placed the camera on the ground on its side and guessed the angle to fill the screen. I miss my older camera in these situations because it has an articulated view screen and I would be able to see where the camera is aiming.

This image is entitled 'Radiance'.
This captivating Japanese maple or 'acer palmatum' was absolutely on fire with a spectacular display of autumn color.
The sweeping branches were some of the most beautiful I have seen. That tiny sunstar peeking through the canopy was the icing on the cake!
