Japanese Maple -- Day 128

Not exactly the color you would expect to see in Spring. The Japanese Maple is a deep maroon color, but this particular one, had a shock of bright red on top. :)

Silver Maple -- Day 114

Dried Sugar Maple Leaf -- Day 35

Sitting on my bed again after not capturing an image earlier in the day, I had the thought, that maybe I could just do a week's worth of pictures all taken at night from the comfort of my own bed. Most people wouldn't guess that this was captured in my room, but I have this dried sugar maple leaf on my bedside table and chose it to be my subject today. :)
And it reminds me of Canada.

Silver Maple Leaf -- Day 105

I spotted this little leaf on the sidewalk while I was on my way to my neighbors rose garden. I took a large batch of rose photos, but decided to post this one, since it was a change from the many flowers. :) It was hard decision though, maybe all the roses will show up in future blog posts over at www.lamariephotography.com. :)

Baby Sugar Maple Leaf -- Day 306

Check out this little leaf on our neighbor's Sugar Maple tree. I hope no one is getting tired of maple leaves. I just love them! This leaf is about an inch across and is cute sticking out of the branch. I wonder if it will grow back next year.

Maple Leaf Memorial -- Day 300

Today was the second anniversary of the death of my cousin, Ginny. When her mom died in '96 we planted a red maple tree in our family cemetary, and when Ginny died, we planted a second red maple. Today I wanted to get pictures of the maples so Amber, Hannah and I headed out to our grandparents house and walked out to the back of their land to visit the cemetery. Aunt Michelle's tree was still green with only a few leaves that were beginning to change. Usually it is flaming red at this time of year. Ginny's tree was also mostly green, but was more noticeably changing color. This photo is a combination of two photos I took today. One of the prettiest leaf on Ginny's tree and Ginny's head stone. I wanted to somehow remember her in my photo for today, so this is my memorial to my dear sweet cousin who is home in Heaven with God and her mom. :) I also think it is interesting that today is the 300th day of my project and it is 10/30/10.

Red Maple -- Day 290 -- Winner of Viewer's Choice Poll

Today I revisited the red maple down the road (We used to have two of these in our yard, but they got taken out by the electric company the summer before last). Yesterday the sky was overcast so I didn't get any good shots of the tree, which is the reason I went back today. The sun was perfect and I got lots of good shots. I took some more close-ups of the leaves that I wanted to post, but I chose this one since I posted a leaf yesterday.

Maple Leaf -- Day 289 -- Winner of Viewer's Choice Poll

The trees are changing! I love Red Maple trees. I wouldn't mind having a driveway lined with them some day. :)
