Acer rubrum
Red Maple · New Hampshire · 13 October 2019
Straight up into the canopy, with maple, beech and birch all turning at once and a hemlock holding its green on the right.
Autumn colour is not the leaf making something new. The yellows and oranges were there all summer, masked by chlorophyll; when the tree stops maintaining the chlorophyll they simply become visible. The reds are different. They are manufactured on the way out, at some cost, and why a dying leaf would bother is still argued over.
Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
