Back under the twisted maple at Kubota Garden on Saturday.
The sun was sliding through the branches, and for just a moment it lined up in the fork of the tree. I stopped down and let it burst into a star.
I loved how the whole canopy had gone orange around it, lit from behind.
Have you ever had the light line up for you like that, right when you happened to be standing in the right spot?
It happened for me here. I kept shifting a few inches at a time until the sun sat right in the branches. 😀
I went back to Kubota Garden yesterday to photograph the twisted Japanese maple, this time from underneath, looking straight up into the canopy.
The bark was still wet from the rain, dark and smooth against the orange leaves. When I showed my wife this one, she said it looked like a sculpture.
I think she is right. It looks less grown than carved.
Do you see a sculpture in it, or something else?
I keep finding new shapes every time I look at it.
