Red and Yellow

I am relieved - I wrote about how the Japanese maple tree didn't appear to be turning the traditional colors I expected. Instead the leaves turned a deep purple from green. I was worried that the leaves were not going to turn to the red and yellow that I have come to expect. I stepped off the front porch this morning and saw this. It poured rain last night something fierce, and here was a beautiful carpet of the red and yellow leaves in the driveway. Oh happy day! PLEASE click on this to see brilliant color.
