    what a great photo of an amazing tree - I guess it is a Japanese maple? I am jealous that you have such great greenery there in BC - thanks also for checking out my site – dave

  • Wendi Donaldson

    Wendi Donaldson

    Thanks David….yes, it’s a green Japanese maple (probably has a more impressive name)...as opposed to the purple ones.
    We all seem to have such interesting environments to shoot…. and it’s wonderful to share them all. Thanks! I enjoy your sand and mosques too!

    There are so many ways of capturing an image and with this one you have captured the essence and character of the tree beautifully.

    Wonderful shot.
