Japanese maple in the first flush of spring. This and the other trees shown here belong to Luis Vallejo. His caption for this selection reads... "Algunos arces, brotación" (some maples sprouting). The photos are by Miguel Krause

We featured some deciduous trees that belong to Luis Vallejo not too long ago. Now we’ve got more, but this time they are waking up and stretching . They’re all Japanese maples (Acer palmatum). If you’d like to know the varieties, you can visit Luis on facebook
