TT - Seasonal

My blip is seasonal only in the sense that it's the time of year when things stop growing and leaves drop from the trees.  This Acer leaf was a bright green in Spring and Summer, then in Autumn it turned to the richest and most vibrant red you could imagine;  now it's at the last stage, very dry and papery to the touch and one of the last remaining on the tree.  

Thank you to dbifulco for hosting TT Tuesday, and thank you for visiting my journal.
