From Wikipedia:

A leaf is usually green because of the presence of a pigment known as chlorophyll, which is inside an organelle called a chloroplast. When abundant in the leaf's cells, as during the growing season, the chlorophyll's green color dominates and masks out the colors of any other pigments that may be present in the leaf.

In late summer, as daylight hours shorten and temperatures cool, the veins that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off as a layer of special cork cells forms at the base of each leaf. As this cork layer develops, water and mineral intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. During this time, the chlorophyll begins to decrease and the other colors start to show. Often, the veins are still green after the tissues between them have almost completely changed color.

See a close-up shot of Maple leaf veins.

Thanks to all of you who fave and comment on the photograph.

A fall season has just started. So, of course, there are (and will be) more paintings of fall foliage... 😌

A morning picture of my stacked wood and the yellow maple leaves---both will have to be used or moved. Taken with my new camera.

Color stands out best in Large sizes
