Photograph by David Coleman. The maple leaves capture autumn's dramatic color transformation, displaying a range of warm hues from deep crimson to bright orange. Each leaf exhibits the distinctive star-shaped form and prominent veining characteristic of maple species, while showcasing the varied patterns of color change that occur during fall senescence. The leaves demonstrate different stages of color transformation, with some areas retaining traces of summer green while others have fully transformed to autumn shades. The natural arrangement reveals the intricate details of leaf structure, including veining patterns and texture variations that become more prominent as the leaves change color. This botanical display represents both the scientific process of autumn color change and its aesthetic appeal.
