When you think of red leaves, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Fall foliage. But today, I'd like to share some pictures I captured of our Japanese Maple tree, which is at its most beautiful this time of year.
Yesterday we had lunch on our patio in the courtyard, and the sun was highlighting the brilliant red tips of the tree, as if a spotlight was shining down on it from Heaven.
I couldn't resist a photo opportunity, and didn't want to miss capturing the tree in all its glory, with the tips of its brilliant red branches bathed in the sunlight.
You've probably heard the expression about someone "not being the brightest bulb on the string." Well, this leaf was definitely the brightest leaf on the tree. Isn't it spectacular!
The leaves against the April blue sky were breathtakingly beautiful. You can click on the pictures to get a closer look at the "veins" of the leaves.
The fruit of the Japanese Maple is exquisite. It reminds me of a delicate tropical flower ...
