A young Japanese maple tree's leaf (with another couple of them in the background in a new housing development in Kentucky, courtesy of one of our nephews and his gracious wife. More glorious detail is visible at the larger sizes.
This maple tree was amazing because all of its foliage had turned the same brilliant shade of red over the entire tree

Acer palmatum showing its spectacular autumn colours at Dawyck Botanic Gardens near Peebles in the Scottish Borders.
Went on a hike in the woods with my kids, blazing our own trail through the forest to see what we could find. Along the way we collected some interesting and unusually colorful leaves. This one was one of my favorites.
UPDATE: If you're curious, I used my soft-box with an open back that I placed a black foamboard behind. I used a spotlight in the foreground about 45 degrees off and blocked the light from bleeding into the background to keep it dark.

This is the other Japanese Maple tree we have in our landscape-- a dwarf Lacy Japanese Maple. It is only four feet in height here, though I was laying on the ground for this shot so it looks taller... A slow grower, at full maturity it will probably be around 9 feet tall.
I like the deep lobed, lacy leaves!
Every spring, my lawns look like this. I have a few maple trees and hundreds (actually, thousands) of the seeds sprout and root in my lawns.
The brown 'wings' are the samaras that spin down like a helicopter when dropped, with the maple tree seed contained in the heavy end. The ones that are standing upright have rooted and the seedlings have started to grow. Some seedlings (sprouts) can be seen, having already dropped their samaras.
While it looks like an infestation, it's easily obliterated with the first mowing of the lawn.
