The trunk of a "knob thorn tree" - - fascinating plant, as are so many that are not familiar. BTW: Hard to see on this image, the tips of some of the knobs do end with a curved, sharp-pointed thorn.

A couple I know who have been very longtime friends have a maple tree in their yard that has several different varieties of Japanese Maple growing from a common root and trunk. It is quite old, and drops copious seeds every year. They have started numerous seedlings and gave me one last year.

When leaves first emerge, this tree has bright green leaves with red around the edges. As they mature the red edges go away.

This is the end of the first full year in a starter pot. I placed it on one of my upstairs porches, to nurse it and help it get going. Part way through the summer I decided I might try to make a Bonsai from it. I've been reading quite a bit about the art and practice of Bonsai, and I might just pull it off. It is just becoming root bound, so come spring I will re-pot it and begin the journey of Bonsai.

We will see.

Oh, and the tree had a second spurt of growth in late August, sending out a long spike (about 8" long), and adding branch buds just about everywhere.

Pentax K5IIs, Pentax A50 f1.7.

I made some more exposures of my maple seedling yesterday.

The colors have changed dramatically.

Smooth-bark trees are not well adapted to the peculiar behaviors of humans.

With the 35 mph gusts, some of the twigs on the tree focused on, the clouds, and very high turkey vulture are a bit soft.
