Mono-Monday: Trees

This is our ornamental Japanese Maple tree. It is quite small, and we thought we had lost it after the brutally cold winter, but late in the spring it started to get leaves. I have tried on numerous occasions to capture the soft delicacy of these leaves without much luck. Since I would have little time for photography today between work, gym and thunderstorms, I thought I would give it another try. It was either this or I would have to resort to shots of my shoe trees.

Thank you Gingernan for hosting. I look forward to this every week.
