Phases of red, then Orange, then bright yellow.

But the same kind of maple tree next to it still has most of their leaves, and 75% are still green with only 25% having gone to fall colors,.... odd.
Thanks for sharing your photo works here.

Although they're all beautiful, my favorite is the next to the last, where you see the leaves up close and the incredible bokeh behind!
There's something very wonderful with the leafy details and the fuzzy bokeh backing it up.

It was windy when I shot the one you favor. Shutter speed 1/1250s to freeze the action.
