I was back to the park next to the swimming pool today, and spend all the time around a glorious ginkgo tree that is starting to turn yellow. I liked this picture the most, with a glowing maple tree in the background.
Thank you for visiting!!!!

Thank you so much! Mona, I know what you mean about the Ginkgo tree - it was just beautiful no matter how you look at it - every leaf had a yellow rim, a beautiful shape, and the branches just "look" at you as if offering themselves for the camera. I was battling between having a black-and-white photo showing off the contrast the darker leaf and the light rim, but that giant maple in the background made this one irresistible!

Dieses Baums Blatt, der von Osten
Meinem Garten anvertraut,
Giebt geheimen Sinn zu kosten,
Wie's den Wissenden erbaut,
Ist es Ein lebendig Wesen,
Das sich in sich selbst getrennt?
Sind es zwei, die sich erlesen,
Daß man sie als Eines kennt?
Solche Frage zu erwidern,
Fand ich wohl den rechten Sinn,
Fühlst du nicht an meinen Liedern,
Daß ich Eins und doppelt bin?
And this tree is a living fossil. I have quite a collection of herbarium-like leaves from different trees. They are all so different and still the same.
