The Japanese Maples are at the height of their colors now. Such large, brilliant spots in the late summer.
The stripped and
shapely maple grieves
The ghosts of her
departed leaves
The ground is hard,
as hard as stone
The year is old, the
birds are flown.

The colour is outstanding!
Wow, they're gorgeous. They sure do put on a show.
awesome reds. wow! this might mean your autumn is on the way? we still have 4 months of summer here.
We have a Japanese Maple and I love it. They are such pretty trees!
That is my favorite color of leaf ever!
Changing colors... fall is coming and the leaves on the trees will be very colorful!
There is ONE maple tree in our neighborhood! It will not show color for a long time yet!!
Beautiful - makes me think of Autumn which is not that far away.
Wowzer looks like Fall is on its way.. Our maple is sort of a dull brownish red...not pretty like these.

Oh my, that's beautiful. I was just talking to a blog friend who lives in Michigan, and on this particular tree the color was starting to change already. This Japanese Maple looks like Autumn. Isn't that something that they are in peak color in the late Summer? It really is pretty. I like the quote you shared today too, Ginny.

I had a Japanese maple tree like the one on your cover picture at my old house. I loved that it was red on the outside and green on the inside. The new owners of the house cut it way back so it doesn't look so lush anymore!
They're gorgeous, but do they usually turn this early?
These are gorgeous!
So beautiful!
Aren't they something? I have not seen any yet this year but then I don't get out much. It's too hot! xoxo
