So which of these fall beauties looks more like it's on fire?

This tree right next to Max's school?

Or these incredible leaves that look to me like they're slowly smoldering from the outside in?
You tell me.

All I know is that they're lovely.

I love the tree of red-red was my nana's favorite color because of the brilliant leaves on the tree in front of her house. Reminds me of her. Great eye Ginna!

Before scrolling down my first answer is definetly the red trees! I asked Brian to plant some burning bushes in our yard for that very reason! I love the red. Red is my favorite color but then I started to scroll down and.......I saw the yellow leaves with the red and somehow....well crimany! I can't choose. For different reasons I love them both. Oh Ginna! Keep posting. Between you and your mother's fall pictures you are giving me such wonderful gifts. You've no idea! Be my eyes for me. Then I don't feel like I am missing out as much.

The first one looks most like it's on fire.

I have never seen trees more beautiful than the ones you've posted on your blog. I don't know if it's your excellent photography, or the climate difference, or both, but they are truly stunning.

We planted that Sunset Maple on the mound years ago, but the huge pine tree has eaten it. I planted our burning bush at the corner of the new room, but it remains so shaded by all the bright yellow box elders that it doesn't begin to change until all the other leaves are gone. I'm hungry for red.

I hope those leaves are still there - at least some of them - when we get there. The yellow with the red rims is incredible. It's so funny that some of the maples in the canyon turn that gaudy pink - the deep red is so stunning. The yellow tree looks like a relative of the aspen - is it birch, I wonder?

I can fill a hard drive in May, in Sept-Oct, and at Christmas. Will I ever fill my eyes with enough of it to feel that I've actually seen it?

Hurray for your eye, my dear one.

I hope that is an Autumn Blaze Maple. We just planted one in the front yard Friday.
