Their Tree Lasts Longer...

I drove down Laurel Avenue at about three o'clock this afternoon, as the sun was getting lower in the sky.  As I drove by this house I saw a flash of bright red.  It probably took me 5 seconds before I decided to stop, and then I backed up the street to see what I could make of this scene.  I was stunned at how brilliant the leaves were, backlit by the sun.  I tried several different compositions and this one was the best.  Most of the leaves on our Japanese Maple are gone, but this tree is in full bloom!
