Cheering ourselves up with Maples

The end is near!

The green ones have finally started to change and the Shishi is looking great. Plus I just had to end it with a couple of great shots of Maggie that my daughter took.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

@dangerine49 good evening J, this thread should be re named Cheering ourselves up with Maggie. 'Absolutely beautiful'. What fantastic photos!!!
Lovely colours of your maples also J. Brightened up our evening no end.

 

How sweet of Maggie, precious.
When you least expect it she will be picking colored leaves from those pretty maples lol.

 

They still complain leaves.

 

The daylight hours is decreasing rapidly now J so they will turn and drop very soon.

 

@zfrittz are they your seedlings? They look great

 

They are too good, although the temperatures have already begun to drop and I hope they will drop or I will have to remove them in a week.

 

Hello, how are you? :)

I send photos of... :

Acer palmatum "Seyriu"



Melia azedarach


Wisteria sinensis


And a mix of my garden.





Regards!

 

@monicasanchez good morning Monica, amazing to see your Seiryu just turning and my leaves have now all gone. Just shows what a couple of thousand miles will do !!!
All well here to answer your question, hope you are coping with these ongoing lockdowns. You have your lovely garden to help you through it, so that is a bonus. Enjoyed your photos on this dark and foggy start to the week here in England. Thankyou...

 

Last gasp . All my trees are bare except for these three.

Added bonus: my wife photoshopped Maggie sleeping in the trees.

 

@dangerine49 very nice J, a lovely last gasp!!! And what a cute little squirrel in the trees. A very proud grandma who knows her way around a computer !! Well done to her.

 

Very nice trees, wonderful photos of Maggie : the first I saw made me think of Anne Geddes : one can instantly feel the love enhanced by the "magic" settings. When our kids were newborns we had a calendar with her photos, your pictures take me back... 31 years ago, and that is a very sweet feeling. Thanks, sharing love is one of the best thing we can do. ^_^

I'm not always sure about genes, but I'm certain that a baby that has recieved so much love in such a beautiful way will grow a healthy, happy girl. It's not about karma or anything mystical or religious, but I'm certain that her "environment" will give her all the chances for a good life. It's not about money, comfort or religion, it's about love.

Wow ! How serious and "deep" I am being, om shanti, om... <LOL> I'm too emotional.

 

PS : for those who hate kids, or for those (I hope they are more) who also like"ART IN NATURE", I see a kind of kinship with the art of Nils Udo. Sort of "Zen".

I saw some of his work at an exhibition part of "Les Jardins de Chaumont" and I was bluffed : that's really the kind of art I would have liked to make if I had been talented.

The Acer oliverianum I have is still green and has all it's leaves. Very interesting.

 

Love to see some photos A ??

Great to see some air layering A. Fingers crossed you will get a couple of well rooted clones.

 

Acer oliverianum is always very late to turn.

 

Good afternoon, as this is the very last one of my maples for Autumn 2020, I have shared the last leaves with the Autumn colours thread.
This is my Sangu Kaku in some lovely sunshine.

 

Here also the very last leaves and some nice bark of my metasequoia..

 

All that's left.

We had a decent snow the other day. My wife took some ice shots. Plus I couldn't resist sneaking in Maggie and Harry.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

 

Wonderful photos J, as always from you. Hope you have a very happy and healthy holiday also. With your new arrival it will be a very special one.

 

I have been absent months ago due to the pandemic. Now I am back!

I want to ask you something while I start to read all the old messages. This started to appear on my acer recently, today I started cutting to prevent. What can be? Thanks a lot. Latest photo is a ceratonia siliqua, the prunus genus appears this too.



I'm worried and I don't know what it is...

Happy Holidays!

 

@Acirón good evening, sorry I haven't responded earlier, having looked at your photos the only thing I can think of is the start of Burls. Now this will not kill the tree but can cause it to be weakened. I am not aware of the cause I'm afraid and treatment as far as I know is unknown. Not very helpful I know, but you can take a look at photos of very old trees with this online that shows that trees do survive.

Happy holidays to you also.

 

@Acerholic thank you so much!

I did a treatment with copper and pruning. I'll keep track.
