This Japanese Maple is beautiful year-round as it changes color each season. I’m not sure if the new leaves are hiding the moss and lichen that was all over the branches in winter, or if it falls off as the leaves grow and push it away.
New growth alongside old.
This rainshine moment is brought to you by Klaus the Pug who requires visiting the backyard a few times each day. If it weren’t for his biological needs (including sniffing all the things), I may not see the backyard as often as I do!
I’ve posted daily on tookapic and instagram, but not here; it takes a little more time to post on WordPress. I was busy with a special guest, my Mom. She arrived Thursday and left Saturday morning. We ate at IKEA, walked in a nature park, and saw Agnes Obel. My Mom turns 70 this year. The importance of spending time with her has increased greatly.
But different this time! I may be developing a thing for moss.
More signs that Spring is on the way! How the hydrangea grows new life on old wood is fascinating. I really enjoy watching them change through the seasons.
