Tree of Patience In the heart of bustling Seattle lies the serene Seattle Japanese Garden, my autumn sanctuary. As a photographer, I've devoted myself to a single, beloved subject—a majestic maple tree within the garden. Every week, I faithfully journey to this tranquil oasis, cradling my camera and a persistent dream of capturing the tree in its full autumn glory. With each visit, I chronicle the tree's subtle transformation, from the first hints of amber and crimson to the play of dappled sunlight among its leaves. Through the seasons, I patiently await nature's fickle inspiration, forging bonds with the garden and its keepers. Then, on an early October morning, it happens—the maple bursts into vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. With my camera in hand, I immortalize this moment, a perfect representation of autumn's splendor against the garden's tranquil backdrop, feeling a profound sense of accomplishment and contentment as I realize the endless stories this sanctuary has yet to unveil.
