My birthday present

For my birthday this year, my parents bought me a beautiful Autumn Blaze Maple tree . As you may recall we received one as a wedding gift, but it didn't make it very long. It was beautiful why it lasted, but alas, it died (I sure hope that isn't a sign). Anyway I took a couple of shots before the tree...After the tree, I will keep you updated on the progress over the coming year. It should be beautiful next year.
