| Maple Leaves in sunlight |
Broadleaf Maple is a common tree along rivers and streams in Northern California. In the early spring, it produces sap that can be turned into maple syrup every bit as tasty as that of the eastern sugar maples. Most people don't realize that, mostly because the weather conditions are not always right for creating a large run of sap - it needs clear, freezing nights and warm sunny days at a certain time - usually mid-January.
I really like how the leaves have an edge of gold around them from the Sun. I like the shape of maple leaves in general and your photo is very pretty! Keep 'em coming.
