Japanese Maple leaves, Bellevue WA.
I chose to shoot my photo today while I was on an errand in Bellevue in a business park. In front of me were red flaming maples, with gold poplars in the distance. The sky was completely overcast with the really dark gray clouds (as opposed to the lighter gray ones…). It looked almost like dusk, so I knew there was no help there. Walking further, I spotted these japanese maples, which have small, well defined leaves. I knew I had scored.
There were three images I favored. This is the one for today.
I walked away fully satisfied in the knowledge I can make an engaging image anywhere.
