Yesterday I was mowing the lawn and realized that our Japanese Maple hadn't dropped many leaves and, in the sunlight, was almost cranberry juice colored. I thought it would make a neat picture to have the green lawn, trees in back that have already dropped their leaves as a contrast to the J-maple. Unfortunately, it was late in the afternoon so the sun was dropping by the time I finished the front yard and could take the picture.
The tree's color was especially brilliant this year. We think it's because we're discussing taking it out because it's grown so much it hides the front of the house.
