Maples are beautiful not only in Autumn...

This year I realized for the first time (a shame - I admit it) how beautiful maples look in spring not only in autumn. The fresh, dark red or maroon shiny leaves and the yellow/lemon colour of the blossoms create a wonderfully warm composition. Together with a blue sky on a sunny day this image is at least as beautiful as any other blooming tree. The secret is to look close - sometimes beauties can only be discovered at second sight...

Mother Nature painted Leaves...

From Red to Yellow or vice versa?

More coloured Trees

At the End of Times...

All gone in the meanwhile - not a single one hanging to its lifecord any more - the way all things go...

Trees dipped in Blood...

Nature is my Solace

Prayers to Heaven

I dedicate these images to my Mom and her healing...
