Golden Liquidambar Leaves Canvas Print

The Liquidambar tree is the "Maple of the South," or so I think of it. It is actually an American gum tree, related to eucalyptus trees. We planted our trees in about 1987, so they are fully developed. All summer, they have thousands of green leaves which turn all shades of gold and red for an unbeatable fall display, where maple trees do not grow successfully. These leaves were shot after an unusual night rain, early in the morning, before they dried out. I love pressing the leaves for fall decorations!

I have been taking pictures since I was young. I love the outdoors and enjoy taking landscape and botanical photos. With my lifelong interest in and study of interior design and architecture, I greatly enjoy taking pictures of buildings, interiors, and art. I have pursued my love of art and creation by making collages with many different themes. I am also interested in the Aboriginal arts of Australia, Pointillism, Dot Art, and watercolors. I have included some of my work in various Collections. I am a retired teacher, play golf, travel, camp, make jewelry, read, paint, make collages, and sew. Thank you for viewing my galleries.
