Description
For years, I talked about buying a Japanese Maple Tree, but each time I found one, they always seemed so expensive. One day I went to a garden show and someone was selling small seedlings at a low price and I couldn't resist. Each year it grew bigger and stronger and I watched the leaves turn a bright red colour each autumn. When I decided to move to Sweden, my Japanese Maple had to stay in England. I left it with my mother and it's been growing bigger and better each year and has become quite a feature of her garden. I took this photograph September 2012. The maple was looking stunning, with the sun shinning through it's leaves making lovely shadows. The plant behind it had bright green leaves, making a nice contrast with the red maple leaves and the dark background. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed that the image had a very mystical appearance. The lighter leaves looked like angels and the darker leaves like dragons. Can you see them? I've adjusted this image so that it looks like the original photo at smaller sizes and has a painted effect at the large sizes.
