Every fall, I wonder about the colour changes and am spurred on by the maple tree next door. Your lovely photos sent me to this short article and I am beginning to understand the whys and hows… https://northernwoodlands.org/outside_story/article/the-causes-of-fall-color

A fascinating read, Sarah. I have never known the whys of colour change either. Especially love that each leaf is unique.

Love this photo. I don’t see maples here like in Ontario! Although, fall on the prairies has a beauty, it never quite matches that of Ontario.

I’ll try. I tried to capture the golden fields and muted pastel sky yesterday but the photo didn’t do it justice. I only had my phone.
