I couldn't let all of those gorgeous autumn leaves just fall to the ground without first falling on my scanner!
For a list of all of the maples represented in this scan, click here.
'Orange Dream,' Suminagashi,' 'Bloodgood,' and 'Orange Dream.'
Getting a little more creative here ...

adieu to autumn and farewell to fall
For it is time to say...

Stay warm and happy dreams of spring!

Pretty! I especially like the bright leaves of Sango Kaku. Winter temperatures have finally come to southcentral PA and we are truly in winter mode - and yes, I am dreaming of spring. But don't tell my daughter; she's looking forward to snow!
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs. You have inspired me to try this technique. I bookmarked the instructions for a start. Carolyn
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I'm so very jealous of your many Japanese maples. I need to get the scanner going one night and let those creative juices flow....
ReplyDelete@Garden Sense: The Sango Kaku was the prettiest this year!! Oh, to be young again when it was fun to play in the snow :-)
ReplyDelete@Carolyn: Warning -- scanning is addictive :-) I hope you do give it a try, though! I'd love to see what you come up with.
@Floridagirl: You've got plenty of scanning material all year long -- even with Jack Frost visiting.
Great scans. You are creative trying so many different themes this year.
ReplyDeleteWow, great pictures. I definitely need to keep thinking "scanner" as well...I used it once, thought it was cool, and after that I haven't come back to it.
ReplyDeleteYour scans are always so beautiful! I love Japanese maples throughout the year. I like the way you highlight their lovely shapes as well as their great fall colors.
ReplyDelete@gardenwalk: Thanks! Yes, I'm trying to scan monthly to capture my garden as it changes through the year.
ReplyDelete@ProfRoush: Thanks for your comment. From the minute I first came across the scanning, I've been hooked! Can be a little addicting :-) Hours fly by!!
@debsgarden: I'm sure I'll have some spring maples on the scanner! I just got a new maple called 'Peaches & Cream,' and I think its spring foliage will be scanner worthy :-) Stay tuned! Thanks for visiting!!
Hi Toni, this is my first visit to your blog. I like it! The scanning idea is new to me, and presents another possibility for creative garden-related activity. See you next time ... cheers, catmint
