Maple Tree

I spotted the maple tree in the cathedral grounds first thing this morning, and it seemed to be on fire: green fire. No camera, of course, and Yazz needed her constitutional. 
I went back to photograph it this afternoon, and it still looked beautiful, though the light was very different.
Extra: an insider's view. 
I'm beginning to despair for my bike: it seems to spend more time off the road than on it, and three week waits for parts from China are becoming tiresome. Trying to work towards a final resolution (and a new bike, for sure). A shame.
