Our scarlet maple is at its peak of color this week! I love to lay under its canopy and get caught up in its beauty!

The bark even has a reddish glow to it right now.

Every year we are sure to collect many scarlet maple leaves for study and crafty goodness. I love to include leaves on our Yule tree, so let the collecting and preserving begin!

    Ahhhh, so beautiful and vivid colors on your pictures and on your tree! I suddenly feel an urgent need for planting a maple tree. Is it a special kind of marple called scarlet?

    This is the most beautiful tree! Just dreamy.

    Oh, so beautiful. We have so many trees in our yard, many different maples, but no scarlet maples. We planted a sugar maple last year, and although it is still small, I dream of the color it will be to our yard in the years to come. Enjoy these lovely fall days!

    Love how you wrote a-blaze, it sounds so beautiful and the pictures are tops! I would be collecting as many as I could were I there. I used to have two scarlet leaves that I kept on my bulletin board for almost 12 years. When I moved the board they crumbled from being so old. I still miss being able to look at them, but glad you showed them to me again. Thanks so much. xxoo
