A sad time of the year when all the beautiful colours like these are lost for another year. Lovely capture of the maple

Interesting find. The leaves are turning and ready to fall off but there are still some seed pods that refused to fall in the Spring. Well done and a good find.

And they prove that there is beauty also in death, Jeff. These lovely colored leaves become food for this tree and other vegetation. For me, there is nothing so interesting as Mother Nature.
