A View Of Autumn

September 26, 2025

Dappled sunlight reaching down through the leaves. Reds and greens being spotlighted. Red Maple (Acer rubrum) just beginning to add scarlet to the landscape.

Red Maple trees are incredibly common in eastern North America, and can easily be found from Newfoundland and Manitoba in Canada, down to Florida and Texas in its native range.

They are certainly abundant up here. Providing many splashes of red, yellow, and orange in the woods.
