Maple. There is less red in the landscape now.....

The red, now, is primarily Japanese maples.  The big maples are mostly yellow, at this point.

Suburban corn.  This is the same stalk we have looked at before.

It has made actual ears of corn!  If it were mine, I'd pluck and peel it, to see what it looks like inside.

Look at the way the leaves are wrapped around the ear, and around each other.....

A beautiful day.

More Japanese maples.  This is the color both the camera and I recall.

There is still some red in the big maples.

Betting on dogwood, but not sure.

The same excellent oak-leaf hydrangea we've been admiring.  The woman who owns the property was outside, on the 4th.  I told her I loved her hydrangea.  She was glad that others enjoy it as she does.  She said she'd owned that house for 10 years, and that the hydrangea was not new at that time.  She says it has something good to look at in every season.......

Strong light and dark shadows.

This leaf looks similar to the one above, but it felt quite different.  Fuzzier, and with less substance.  I wonder if they are from the same kind of plant, or not........  I didn't pay any attention to the shrubs they may have fallen from.  I just saw them on the ground and picked them up..........
