A seasonal show of colours by the Full Moon Maple (Acer japonicum). It was a drizzly afternoon but well worth the visit as wet weather brought out the best of seasonal colours. The Old Arboretum; Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury, South Gloucestershire, England, UK.
Thank you for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.

The pinkish-red colours and the round shape of the leaves of the Full-Moon Maple (Acer japonicum) were just stunning. Old Arboretum, Westonbirt near Tetbury, South Gloucestershire, England, UK.
When we arrived at the Arboretum in the afternoon last Sunday it was pouring rain… After a while the sun come out. These two Japanese acers (Acer amoenum) with variable efforts of not looking naked were basking in the sun and with lovely contrast in colour and texture. Now, another type of waiting game was not to get too many passers-by in the frame. At one moment, a 3-4 years-old kid stopped and looked at these splendid acers for a good minute (what seems to be an eternity for this age) with the father behind the frame. He might well be puzzled by something more trivial like why I cannot see any sticks on the ground, but it didn’t really matter, CLICK.

The canopy of this enormous Japanese acer (Acer palmatum) formed a dangling curtain of branches with a green foliage that haven’t yet changed colour much. Backlit by the sun this created a stunning green veil. Old Arboretum, Westonbirt near Tetbury, South Gloucestershire, England, UK.
Not massively imagination I'm afraid.... the tip of a basil leaf.
