SkyWatch Friday: Japanese Maple looked like spring fire on Monday



For a few weeks in the spring, my neighbor's Japanese maple looks like fire to me. I liked the way it looked on Monday against the cloudy sky.

For more skywatchers, please visit the home of SkyWatch Friday.

Hey Carver. Can't figure out why spring in Chapel Hill is ahead of us in Greensboro. If you get a chance to log on and see our sky from Sunday, let me know if yours was the same way!!!

They are spectacular trees ... and turn color at the wrong time of year (it must be a time change thing!!)

Whoa, that's amazing! I'd be hypnotized by that color if I was standing in front of it... that's really beautiful!

I agree, quite a contrast. Lovely photo for SkyWatch. I'm happy everything is starting to bloom, and hopefully all vestige of snow is finally past us!!!!

A perfect Blue White Red sky, the colors of many flags.
Nature seems early compared to ours.
