Although it looks like this photo was taken in the fall, it was actually taken on 5/02/09 (spring in my part of the world.) This particular type of maple tree has red leaves in the spring. They usually look darker than this, but I took this photo at sunset when the tree was bathed in yellow light. The leaves will turn to a dark brownish green in a few weeks. When other leaves show bright red in the fall, this one turns more burgundy, then brown. I have been told it is a Crimson King Maple by a tree specialist.

I have one of these trees in my yard too, and just love it. It's not a large as the one in your photo though. Well done! Happy RT.

Hello CJ...You really have had some interesting life experiences with all of your jobs and your Peace Core work. I have to come back and look around more, but I have to say that I really enjoy the term 'visual pun'. That is so creative...This is a perfect post for RT and for Nature Notes. Thank you for participating in the meme, I really appreciate it.. Michelle
That's a beautiful tree. Great shot.
I definitely would have thought this was a fall photo!
And thanks again for your great comments on my book blog ... your latest non-fiction comment was wonderful and gave me some great reading ideas! THANK YOU!
