Wait, what season is this???
I was surprised to see this maple tree with red leaves in the spring. The owner of the house happened to be in the yard, and informed me that it's a variety that is red year-round.

@babababa@famichiki.jp It's a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum). The variety is likely one named "Bloodgood." But there are so many different varieties of Japanese maple created for landscape, all sizes and a range of leaf colors. We have a "Bloodgood" in our yard, just now leafing out. The leaves are dark maroon in summer but turn brilliant scarlet in the fall. In winter the branch structure is beautiful. Our tree is probably about 50 years old based on the age of our house.
