Fall

The maples are turning.

 

Signs of spring

The red maples are starting to flower.

 

Ready to fly

The red maples are ready to let their helicopters fly.

 

Red Maples

The brightest trees right now are the Maples, getting their seeds ready to fly.

Harbinger

No, it's not fall yet, but this tree needs to check the calendar.  It decided to remind us that fall is around the corner.

Yay spring!

The red maple seeds are glowing in the morning light.

Yay Spring!

Maple leaf

The leaves were bright in the rain.

Red Maple

I think of red leaves in the fall, but this red maple was just leafing out in the spring.  Even the winged seeds were a deep red.
