Garden challenge of terrible difficulty

Not much fall color is left by the time you get to early November, and actually, it's quite surprising that any is left at all.  This is the northwest margin of the Phactors' estate.  Can you find the Japanese maple?  Wonder if my old Texan friend and collaborator can see it?  Of course, he's red green color blind and red against green is a difficult task for him.  Hopefully this is not too difficult for the rest of you and helps build your self esteem.  You're welcome.
