Japanese Maple in the Fall

love this part!! :)

I love the awesome colors. Orange is my favorite!

Fall visit to Japanese Gardens.

This is another photo of the famous Japanese Maple.
I think one of the appeals besides the aesthetic quality, is that it gets good light most of the day. There are other wonderful maple trees, but they don't get the same light.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.
