Some may prefer aspens in the fall, but my favorite tree will always be the sugar maple.
Nothing can quite match the sugar maple for fall color. The yellows, fluorescent oranges, and bright reds which are almost magenta are about the most stunning colors to be found in nature. From beneath the canopy it looks as though the entire forest is burning with a hot flame. I learned something interesting today: the variation in the colors of the sugar maple leaves (a single tree can produce every shade from yellow to red) is triggered by different amounts of light hitting each leaf. The more sun a leaf gets, the redder the shade in the fall. Posted at 08:49 PM | Permalink | | | |
