One of the best ways to spend a nice autumn day.

Relaxing under the maple leaves in autumn is always a nice idea. Boy, those Japanese maples are really something. In this park pretty much every tree is a maple tree, so everywhere is a bright and fiery red.

I think it was actually three girls over there. I didn't go over to check. But still, the title stands. Such a lovely place, you could relax under here with just about anyone.

The leaves are at their peak now. Won't be long before they leave us, but we can enjoy them while they last (which will hopefully be a few more weeks, as they gradually decline).
