This is one of several gorgeous Maple leaves I brought home from Bowness Park a few days ago. I'm still puzzled, as the shape of the leaf is that of Silver Maple, yet anything I have read about this species says that the leaves are yellow in fall, not red. Need to do more research : ). I held this leaf up against my backyard fence, as it was very windy. Note, later: apparently, it is definitely Silver Maple, perhaps just genetically different (hybrid?).
