A little more color

autumn,
bald cypress,
color,
japanese maple,
trees
I've been enjoying the fall color this year, trying to take photos as soon as I notice something that is really nice -- the one problem I have with autumn is the colorful days are just over too quickly!
A tree can go from "nice" to "WOW!" to "blah" (or worse yet: barren) in just a couple of days, so I've learned not to delay with the camera. Today, just a few of the better bursts of color in my garden.
Starting with my Sugar Maple that's in the front yard.
This tree has a little more red in its leaves than is shown here, but I just can't seem to capture it accurately.
The bald cypress though...
...I can capture its orange-reddish-browns without even trying.
It's a standout tree in my fall garden (and the other seasons too).
The little coral bark japanese maple is not so impressive yet, being just a few feet tall:
But with color like that it will be getting my attention too!
(I think 2014 will be the year I finally decide where to plant my japanese maples.)
More shots of color soon.

Your photos are amazing such lovely colours this time of year. Thank you for sharing. Sarah
I'm always amazed at Bald Cypress at this time of year. I recently went to a garden that I had visited earlier this year, during the summer. I was so impressed by a little grove of Bald Cypress right at the entrance...and couldn't believe I hadn't even noticed them earlier in the season...of course, they were just green back then...and now were glorious!
