Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: maple leaves

While Steve was getting the car filled with gas, I had fun taking pictures of the trees nearby, including this lovely little Maple tree. When I got home, I decided it would be a lot of fun to turn this into a textured piece, and used one from KayCeeArr: #13 -FaceOfSol... and two from Jerry Jones: OldPhoto5 and Painted Canvas 4

I took lots of close-up images of maple leaves from this tree. Isn't it just amazing?! This photo was taken on October 21, 2011.

I have to tell the truth: one of my favorite trees are Maples. their leaves are just so beautiful and broad, with lovely veining and interesting shapes. I was so excited for Fall to arrive because I couldn't wait to take pictures of the leaves as they transformed from green to brown.

Steve and I went to the historical town of Jacksonville, Oregon last week to see if there were any interesting pictures to take of the buildings there. Well...as it turned out, we weren't inspired by the buildings, but I certainly went crazy with my macro lens and had a grand time! After weeding out all the bad shots, I got 85 keepers! Whee!!! :D This was a maple tree I noticed as we walked up one street and I simply had to stop and take pictures of the sun shining through some leaves! Work is keeping me buried, but I'll have about 20 minutes tonight to bounce around to some of your lovely photo streams! It will be a very nice adventure for me and I can't wait to see what you all have for me to see! :)

I took another picture of the Japanese maple tree I saw in Jacksonville last week and I liked the way the sun flare looked! :) Internet service in southern Oregon was down all day long! I've been too busy to worry about it, but it's interesting how dependent we become on having this luxury! Thanks for all of your visits, I had hoped to visit some photostreams this morning but it will have to wait until tomorrow I'm afraid, since we just got our internet back just when it's time to go to bed!! *tantrum* I did have time to visit some pages last night and had a very nice time, but didn't get to everyone's by the time I needed to log off. *sigh*....work is very nice but I miss all of your lovely photos!
