Maple and oak leaves turn red and golden in autumn as chlorophyll breaks down, revealing pigments that were always present beneath. This seasonal transformation is one of nature's most predictable and celebrated cycles, occurring as trees prepare for dormancy and shorter days. Leaves drift downward on cooling air currents, carpeting the ground in a colorful blanket that enriches soil as it decomposes.
