This is, of course, the famous Japanese maple tree. What is always surprising is that the leaves on this tree were still green until about 4 days ago. I am always amazed at how quickly they go from green to orange and yellow. I never get tired of going out to explore the tree after the colors have changed. I try to find a view that I haven't photographed before, and I think that this fills the bill. The yellow leaves are closest to me, but in the background are orange leaves on higher branches. I love the contrast in colors.
