There is a big leaf maple tree directly outside my window at the office - an acer microphyllum if i remember from what Mr. Shroufe taught us in 10th grade. Its beautiful, full and vibrant. I have yet to take a photo that will do its true nature enough praise. And trust me I have tried many times.
Its strong red colorings are almost the red of california poppy and the green the color of healthy oregon grass....and well the orange is the perfect harvest moon or the brightest freshly washed pumpkin and the bark a deep chocolate brown providing a great contract against the bright colors.
i wish words or film could do it justice. because i feel like when i see its real beauty i can't help but feel a bit at peace with the seasonal ebb and flow of life. its a great reminder of how long this whole world has been going on and surviving without my stressing or the drama of daily life.
