Colorful maples

In late summer I like crape myrtles. In April and May I like the dogwoods blooming.

This time of year, I like maples.

I walked around the neighborhood to get pictures of the maples. Maples seem to do the nicest job of turning colors. This was a nice contrast between the orange and the regular green in the foreground.

I loved this deep red.

I looked up and saw this.

Here are two more shots of that tree.

This one was across the street.

Here's a closeup of a remaining crape flower and, I think, seed.

And in fall the dogwoods don't look nearly so impressive.
