Sugar Maple leaves... perhaps the prettiest of Fall. Exploding orange, incendiary reds visible at great distances and just as rewarding close-up. |
Harlequin Glorybowers (not their real name) at the Steigerwald's, on Mill, November. Latin name is Claradendron Tricotymum. If that sounds familiar, it's because this plant ios a relative of the popular Claradendron houseplant. |
Threadleaf Japanese Maples just showing pink in early Fall. |
Threadleaf Japanese Maples -- but do you see Snuffalupagus, the Sesame Street elephant? I see him with his head on the left, crouching. Or a crouching American bison.Or have I lost it? |
Threadleaf Japanese Maples Close Up -- just as pretty at this proximity. |
Norway Maple in full effulgence of sunlit yellow. This Fall of 2001 was very slow... allowing colors and leaves to linger. |
Japanese Maples 1 - blazing away. |
Japanese Maples 2 - close-up, soft focused, yes, but pretty nonetheless, don't you think? |
Japanese Maples 3 - shot from below and into the sun. More for pattern than detail. |
Japanese Maples 4 - more beauty from below, into the sun. |
Redbud at Joye and Frank Schwartz's yard. Valentines in green, always ready! |
English Ivy by a garage door. Beauty sneaks up on you. Need to be open to it. |
Moseley Avenue, our side street. A great place to observe the seasons. |
