There are various reasons to always use a lens hood but in case of the first shot the green flare produces a nice contrast and proportioning, so its my favourite. Get well soon! Nice shots!

Whilst I don't envy her the snow, I do envy you your late autumn and consequent shorter winter! Here in Wales, our one Japanese maple dropped its leaves some weeks ago, and even the oaks have now lost their leaves. The only remaining splashes of autumn colour here are a shrub called <em>Stephanandra tanakae</em> - a Japanese native (kana-utsugi) - no wonder it is one of my very favourite shrubs. Its reddish stems even look good when the leaves have fallen. Of course, your Mother is right!

(Peter, please correct if I'm wrong) At least that is what they're called here in Ohio. Mine is a Threadleaf Japanese Maple and while the leaves are still on the tree, they have turned brown under the thick layer of new-fallen snow. They will soon all fall at once with an audible "plop". That is, so appropriately, a Japanese Maple. (Peter, please correct if I’m wrong) At least that is what they’re called here in Ohio.
