The Tree

This is the Maple which is right outside of my kitchen window. It puts on quite a show all year long. This is a pic of it this morning helping the patio umbrella shade the patio to keep Teddy cool.


This was it about a month ago.


Early spring with it's red buds.


Very very early spring and totally bare.


Holding snow during the big storm this past winter.



You could hardly see it during the storm.


Here it is with the first snow of the season.


Some days it was too cold to even open the window.


Leafless by Thanksgiving.


Past it's peak in Fall.


At it's best during my favorite season! Only 3 more months until we can see this again. I love my Maple.
