Goshiki Shidare 10/18/06

I love this maple. Goshiki Shidare this past autumn put on a glorious show as you can see in this October 18, 2006 photo. Click on the image to enlarge it. With camera in hand (and lots of memory), I waited for the sun to get low in the sky before taking this picture. The backlighting made Goshiki Shidare brilliantly gold, and the eye was drawn to this tree even when viewed from the far reaches of the garden. It seemed to be glowing with color.
