in treetuesday •  6 years ago  (edited)

There is a saying about maple trees and that is that maple trees are the indisputable king of autumn colors. I have seen these beautiful maple trees in movies and magazines but never in real life till i was actually standing in front of them on my visit to Osaki , Japan.

Visiting Japan in autumn is definitely spectacular and only then do you understand why that expression is used about Maple Trees "Indisputable King of Autumn Colors" it's certainly the right phase to describe these magnificent trees.

I was so amazed to see maple trees in almost every street of Japan it was the most colorful scenery i have ever seen anywhere in the world such a refreshing aroma from these maple trees. The maple trees been native to Japan can be seen everywhere but in their wildest form in forest amongst the other trees in the mountains is definitely a breathtaking scenery.

During the autumn season you will see the leaves of these maple trees turning gradually from a beautiful green into yellow, orange and finally a shiny red is why you see maple trees used widely in Japanese gardens and temples because of there such peaceful vibrate colors.

The Japanese people call the maple trees " Kaede " which means frog hands and some Japanese people call these maple trees " Momiji " which means baby hands and how they came to that is because the leaves have the appearance of a frogs hand or a baby's hand.

Such gorgeous vibrant natural colors

Definitely are and seeing it all in real life form was just outstanding :)

It sure must have been such a sight to experience

I heard in Osaka's specialty is to eat roasted maple leaf from street vendors ... have you tried a roasted maple leaf?

Your photos are great .... amazing ... so colorful .... I'm totally overwhelmed...

But I think I see it in reality ... is something very special 👍

Thank you so much seeing it in real life is definitely outstanding for sure.

I have heard of that roasted maple leaf but never got around to it unfortunately maybe next time i am in Japan :)

it is always good to leave one thing open ....If you come back in one place then you also have something new to discover 😉

That is so true a good way of looking at it makes it more exciting :)

I think .... it is really important ... always in the whole life .... from which perspective you look at something 😉

So true have a lovely day :)

Thank you .... I really had a very nice day yesterday 🤩
Hope you also had a good time yesterday 😉

Yes i did thank you and you have a lovely weekend and happy posting :)

Stunning trees! I love the trees in Japan, and the variety of colour is wonderful, it definitely makes me want to travel there!

Thank you @fiftysixnorth i do think as with color Japan has the most colorful trees in the world and i definitely want to get back there again in the near future to see it all over again and more :)

If the SBD goes up again after you have traded i am booking a flight...haha :)

lol! I have never been to Japan but it has always been on my list of places I want to see. If I could I would spend a whole year there to experience all the seasons :)

You definitely wouldn't be disappointed so much to see and do over there once in your life everyone needs to experience different cultures :)

I fully agree!

I never knew they had so many maples over there. Thankfully we are blessed with a bunch here in Michigan. Great colors you captured!

I was truly shocked i did not expect to see so many shapes , sizes and outstanding colors definitely want to go back there again one day to see more :)

This is fabulous, Angelo! The colors are amazing and actually, I did not know they had maple trees there. A place for the bucket list!

Tip!

Seriously ohhhhh noooooo ....definitely need to put it on your bucket list you will be left breathless honestly you will never see this anywhere else in the world you need to do it :)
