>>We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? Why a maple leaf turns bright red? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.>>

I have learned to enjoy all the seasons in some little way,  but fall is definitely my favorite time of year.  When the heat breaks, and there are cool crisp - but not too cold nights.  The explosion of fiery color on the trees is absolutely beautiful.  We like to take a drive up to the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains during this time.

Do you know why the leaves change to these beautiful colors in the fall?  The page I am about to direct you to is something you may find fun to share with your school-age children.

Thats interesting Debbie.  We don't get a lot of fall leaves, mainly because we don't have a lot of trees, but of all the seasons, fall is the one I like the best.

It's such a beautiful season.   Not only am I looking forward to leaves,  but to indulging just a little in some apple crisp!

I have oak trees in my yard, and I particularly enjoy watching the red oak turn colors.

Oak trees are beautfiul - I love the red oak.

I love Autumn and the cooler weather too. I don't know why the leaves change colors though but I might turn colors too if I had to change outside in front of everyone LOL,, ok old joke,, I'll crawl away now. :)

You are funny!   The trees always look beautiful to me,  in the summer they're green with the birds in their nests,  in the winter they look so so nice bare and covered with ice,  but I like the autumn colors the best.
