Thank you once again to Brent aka foliosus@Flickr from Portland, Oregon for sharing one of his photographs with BPotD (original image | BPotD Flickr Group Pool). Much appreciated, Brent.
It is hard to deny the architectural appeal of downy Japanese maples when presented with a specimen such as this one from the Portland Japanese Garden.





Wow! A terrific picture. The waterdroplets look like led lights accetuating the branches.

Simply stunning!
Gorgeous photo. Just beautiful.
I think that they look best with the moss - thanks !!
Phantastic photo!
I've been to the Portland Japanese Garden (probably saw this specific tree) and it is a "must see" if one is in the Portland area. Luckily, I left my camera behind when I visited several years ago, else I would probably still be there ;-).
I visited the Portland Japanese Garden March '06 and tried, in vain, to capture this same photograph. Thanks for your skill!
