What a beautiful leaf!  I like your description of the "red fingernails."

@Liz: I guess the name 'Tsuma Gaki' translates loosely to 'painted fingernails', it's a good description, isn't it!

Looks like little paws.  I love it too, as with most Maples, they are just so pretty.  I really do love a big old Maple tree, except if I have to rake all the leaves.  I like ours, out in its field.

@JMTKMS: I love most maples too, but now I love the leaves too, because they are gold for the garden! I chop up the leaves with the lawn mower and use them in the compost pile and as mulch for my veggie beds... :)
