Autumn's Deep

A journey into
autumn's deep
puts all my worries
fast asleep.

Our Japanese Maple I can see from the kitchen window while washing dishes.

In the 1860's, an American living in Yokohama, George Hall, sent back seeds and plants of ornamentals, including Japanese maples, yew and false cypress.

Sadly, after Pearl Harbor most of these trees were patriotically poisoned, ringbarked and extirpated. :(

Wow! Super colours, backlighting, dof, bokeh! Just fabuluous! I love Japanese maples! Thank you for this information. I didn't know how Japanese maples came to be in N. America, and I certainly didn't know how they were treated after Pearl Harbour. Jeeeezzzz! What's with people?! So glad they have survived! (p.s. What a great view from your kitchen window!)
