The Japanese maple, Seen a Different Way

Here it is once again, my famous Japanese maple on the front lawn.  But for a change, seen from above looking down, instead from below looking up.  I was taken by the sense that the leaves looked like a wavy line of something going across the picture.  It is a completely different way of seeing this tree, for me! It is worth mentioning that the Japanese maple is the last tree in the neighborhood to loose it's leaves as Fall progresses which is always nice.
