Japanese Maple Tree

It's been raining quite a bit this week, but I haven't really minded, since it makes all the colors in the garden so vivid. I like to capture my flowers and whatnot with their petals riddled with rain drops. That's Spring for ya. This Maple just started to bud and the chocolaty cinnamon color adds such a beautiful, delectable backdrop to the waning tulips, bluebells, and day lilies surrounding it.
