FOTD – November 1 – Japanese Maple Leaves

It’s the first tree to produce leaves and the last tree to drop them. It is green all summer and turns brilliant scarlet in November — when all the other trees have finished their autumn glow.

This year, it hasn’t lit up yet. It is still waiting for another frost. We had one last night — and I had to actually turn on the heat — but the tree needs a bit more cold to get its light on high. So these are all from last year or the year before.
