Our Dwarf Japanese Maple is looking really nice in its autumn colours, and this is shot from underneath

A maple tree changing from green to brilliant red..

The colors are just starting to appear in Lost Maples, Texas. 5 mile hike today on the west trail but it was worth it!!!

This Sugar Maple along our front fence line by the road is the first to show off this fall.

Maple Plains, Prince Edward Island.

At the sugarbush operation that we visited, the tap and bucket method has been replaced by a tap and line method that uses gravity to feed the sap from individual trees down to a central point where it is then pumped back up to a modern day version of the sugar shack for further processing into food grade maple syrup.

My unsteady hand and a slight breeze provided quite the challenge of focus. (Not to mention trying to convince my camera phone what I really want to focus on) After several attempts I finally caught the maple seeds, called samaras, from a beautiful tree on my "drive home beauty appreciation tour."

The backpack pushes my shoulders into a slump, my eyes lifting wearily from the ground ahead of me to meet the bursts of orange that blankets the earth. I gasp slightly, and adjust my eyes to this new hue.

OK, OK. I know I'm going a little nutty this year about the trees.

A red maple lives up to its species name.

Despite their name, this flowering maple (Abutilon pictum) is actually more closely related to the hibiscus.
