Here in Calgary, we don't get those wonderful Maple trees that turn a glorious red in fall, that they get in Eastern Canada. Consequently, my eyes go straight to any kind of leaf that is remotely red. This one might be an Amur Maple? Seen by a pond at the Calgary Zoo on 6 October 2012. I always think of the very small, wild Gooseberry leaves (which turn a beautiful red) as my mini Maple leaves : ) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_ginnala

I think I have the ID correct for these beautiful fall leaves, seen at the Calgary Zoo on October 5th. As you can see, we have been having beautiful weather (after our non-summer!). Snow is in the forecast after the next few days.

Amur Maple leaves at the Calgary Zoo on October 8th. Always a joy to see these, as we don't have all the beautiful red fall colours like in eastern Canada.

Saw these glorious fall leaves at the Calgary Zoo three days ago. I think they are Amur Maple (Acer ginnala)? Bushes and shrubs that have leaves that turn red in the fall are so welcome, as our trees turn mostly yellow in the fall.

These gorgeous (Amur?) Maple leaves were blowing in the wind at the Calgary Zoo recently. I so rarely get to see and photograph Maple of any kind, so I was happy to find this beauty. Interestingness#275 explore2008October24.

These are the seedpods of the Amur Maple tree, growing at Shannon Terrace, Fish Creek Park. Didn't notice the tiny spider until I downloaded my photos : )

We came upon this young Amur Maple tree yesterday in someone's garden. I always get excited when I see a splash of bright red leaves, LOL.
