Day 284 - Tree contrast

Had a lovely afternoon/evening with our godkids and their parents. We went to the park, had a yummy lamb supper, and carved a pumpkin. As Peg was pushing 'E' on the swing I, of course, was snapping pictures. As I was walking around to get a better vantage point I found this lonely red leaf among the wood chips. I like the contrast of the dark red next to the pale chips. Despite the differences between the leaf and chips they both have the same roots; they come from a tree.

Day 269 - Red Maple

Caught this red maple leaf 'sleeping' in the grass. I like the contrast between the rich red and vibrant green. I also like the lines - of the veins, contour of the leaf, and the grass blades. Peg says it almost looks like the leaf on the Canadian flag. I wonder what the flag would like in red and green???
