Japanese Maple

This is one of 4 Japanese Maples that we have at home - 2 in the front and 2 in the back.

They are all different; with this being the oldest and the biggest.

It's also the closest to my parents Japanese Maple that has sadly died.

Another wet day; and the washing that I put out on Monday is still out, and still nowhere near drying.
Perhaps if I bring it in, the rain might stop.

Got 8 more blips before I need to pull something out of the bag for 500. Time to start thinking...
