Gone for another season

My Japanese Maple was planted in the spring of 2008. It is just about my favorite plant in the yard. (Just about!)
It has grown about 2 feet since we planted it. I love the gorgeous color of its leaves, and they really become vibrant in autumn.

Last week, the tree was at its peak of beauty! I was out doing some final chores when I snapped this photo.
So, last night, the temperature dipped down into the teens (Brrrr) and when we pulled open the curtain this morning... most of the leaves of this beauty were laying at it feet.

I knew it was going to happen, but it surprised me that it was almost overnight!

Lovely pics, Kay.
That was a dramatic "before and after" foto of that attractive maple. That scarlet really asks for attention, doesn't it?
