Description


----
This remarkable, large Japanese Maple was encountered during the photo scavenger hunt a week ago in Skippack, Pennsylvania.
----
It was magnificent to view, with its foliage in every stage of life--most already crisping up and curling, clinging precariously to their branches, waiting for a cold rain and wind to whisk them away for the coming Winter.
----
But it took a touch of Topaz Adjust Buzz to convey the majesty of the color and light in my photo.
