“Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter.
Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom,
but we hope it, we know it.”
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

So beautiful, crisp and vivid. Looks like you’ve already gotten the hang of the new equipment.
I find it amazing how nature comes back to life even when it looks as though it’s completely brown and dead. Lovely images! :)x
That is a red maple, not a sugar maple. The seeds are visibly different between the two species and unlike what we can see of the leaves in the picture sugar maples are not serrated.
Thanks for the clarification William, I hope you are right and I have gone and changed the name of the species to what you have suggested. Have a great day!
