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

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.
