Fiery Maple

Well, it’s autumn on this side of the equator and everyone’s starting to flood the interwebs with their local fall color.

I will too, but with my own take on things.

Here’s a Japanese Maple, my favorite tree, starting to change.  Quite a few local photographers shoot these trees, since they are next to the paths and parking areas of the largest town park, Lithia Park.  But most of the images I’ve run across are typical scenery shots.

It’s a pretty tree, but prettier inside.

Because the beauty is in the details.
