紅葉 - Japanese Maple leaves cover the ground

Tis’ the season. The characters for Japanese Maple (紅葉 or もみじ or momiji) are the exact same for autumn colors (こうよう or kooyoo).

I took today’s photo on my Nikon D7000 with a cheap 50mm f/1.8 lens. At the widest aperture of 1.8 you can get this effect of focus only on the leaf in the center of the photo.
