      Thank you, Debbie! Of course I had to share the flag with the rest of my maple leaf shots.

        Yes, a firecracker red finale! I have some pics of red leaves, not as vibrant as yours though, plus some golden leaves from the Oaks as well. Sometime over the Winter when the main colors are gray and white, I’ll use them for a post.

      Thank you, Robbie. Glad I captured the maples when I did, the wind and rain took most of them off the trees.
