Maples

We don’t have many red maples around our parts so had to capture these.

Scratch and sniff

Sometimes I wish I could capture, with the image, the wonderful scents and sounds of that moment to share and to savour.  You’ll just have to use your imagination for the calm morning, fresh rain of this one.

Leaves or blossom?

Can you identify this?

Let’s zoom out a little…

Did you know some maples’ leaves start out as red in spring as they turn in fall?  I love how they pose as flowers for spring splendor!
