Maple glows bright red
Doesn’t know December’s here
All other trees bare
Red lights in forest window
Nature celebrates Christmas

Red Maple Photo taken today: Dwight L. Roth
Haikai Tanka for Frank Tassone’s challenge using Christmas as our prompt. One Red maple still has its leaves clinging to its branches. Seems very unusual to see this at this time of year. Shot this photo today to use as my theme.
