This week’s photograph is one from our garden. This is a magnificent Acer growing in a large tub on our patio — it is doing so well it is over 6 feet and we think has rooted through the pot and through the paving of the patio! But it is absolutely gorgeous, especially at this time of year when it has this wonderful golden/red leaves. The stems are naturally red all year and in Spring contrast with the delightful fresh pale green of the new leaves. This shot was taken about a week ago and is a composite of two frames.
