An early morning stroll in the garden is one of the many joys of Spring for me. On each stroll, I discover newly leafed out plants and anticipate the arrival of others. Fresh, tender young leaves in various states of maturity, bursting forth with such vigor. They really put a smile on my face.
This morning, the Japanese Maples grabbed my attention. While I’ve photographed the maples extensively in their Fall colors, I realized only recently they are equally photogenic in the Spring. Take a peek!

I have ‘Sieryu’ and ‘Ukigumo’ so it was a delight to see your photos. Actually they’re all gorgeous! You’re right, they are photogenic in the spring too. Mine are way behind yours though, still very much in the bud stage. Patience, patience.
Hopefully the fine weather this weekend will precipitate things. Thanks for visiting the blog and commenting.
