Gorgeous these leaves. Even though the maple leaf is a Canadian symbol we don’t have them in Alberta as it is too cold. Happy to see yours. 🙂

Great title and the leaves are beautiful viewed big!! Here in Florida Fall sneaks up on you. You sense drier air, temps moderate..but no getting splashed with color from changing leaves!!

One of the few sights I still miss from Canada (boohoo). Another few days or weeks, and TADA! – deeply red leaves will show off their full & utter brilliance! Oh Mike, please won’t you post ’em then too?!

While in Pittsburgh these past 3 days, the maples were on beautiful display, and a lovely site to see. As is this image, Mike!

I’ve seen some maple trees in South Korea and they were red. I’ve learned from other sources about Canadian maple trees. What’s the difference?
