Our Little Maple, All Decked Out

I just realized that it's been a while since I posted a picture of one of our "tree babies" and I wanted to share what color it turned out to be. This is one of our Autumn Blaze Maples.

For those of you who are knew to my blog, we're not nutty--at least not too nutty. It's just that when we moved in, our yard was a barren field. One of the first things we did was plant trees and then guard them as best we could from the cicadas and the deer (NO EASY TASK!). We're tickled they've established themselves, and now they are just beautiful!
