oh, yes...I had song lyrics dancing in my head for titles, but driving by two of these trees fascinated me...rooted me. I've lived with maple trees for a long time but this one and her sister were show stoppers and a completely new sight for me. As we approached to take the pic, the older woman who occupied the house came out and was so happy that a photo was being taken of her "babies". She evidently has been assiduously trimming the all green leaves that come out on these during the spring for years so that this most unusual-looking leaf will predominant with the fresh, new leaves...It was beautiful..wish you could have been there to share the moment. Taken in N. Haverhill, NH..I should send her a pic ......

It almost looks like someone painted the white leaves green. Very beautiful. What a lifetime's labor that must have been for that woman.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

What a delightful tree. I don't think I've seen one like this before. I'm glad you found this to show us.

PJ, Great find. I bet it took the maple fairy a longgg time to paint all those leaves. This is the first one that I've seen. Nice shot, Terry

I'm not a professional photographer but I enjoy sharing my work with everyone and viewing other peoples work.
please visit PARAMEDYC'S gallery Thank you, Terry
Hi PJ,
Lovely leaf, lovely story,
You absolutely must send her the picture, I know (not really (~8 8~)) she'll be very happy with it,
I think it would be good to have that one flower in sunlight (or similar) to draw greater attention to it, just an idea,
Beautifully done,
Thanks for sharing
♥

-- I like that "cute girl next door look". They don't blow you away when they are dolled up, but they always look great --someone (~8 8~)
I think you should send her one PJ...Terrific work, and a crackin capture...The shadows in this has a kind of mirror image' implanted on those leaves!..wonderful!

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
This is beautiful, I love variegated leaves for their different light and shade :-)

Very nice. You'll have to photograph it again in the fall so we can see what it looks like when the leaves turn to their fall colors. Nice job.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Very unusual, PJ!, but very nice!

MY PHOTOGRAFIC VISION...
I am not an artist, I only let you see with my eyes...!
That's one of the most interesting things I've seen in awhile. I'm glad you stopped for this...isn't it amazing how versatile and lovely Nature can be?

What an unusual maple leaf. I grew up around maples and have never seen one like this. Thanks for sharing.

They are very unusual and very pretty. I had a similar experience to the one you describe photographing the tree in a neighbor's yard, but my pics didn't turn out very well. This is great.

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
This is just lovely, nature can be amazing, even with some assistance some times. I think you should print a copy for her, tis great.

Really very nice and have to say i like this one the best. I think because i can focus better on the single leaf and enjoy its beauty. I like your narrative also. > Very nice one my friend.
