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
