Maple leaves lie scattered on the ground

A few years ago while out at Nanaimo, B.C. in mid November I went for a walk along the downtown waterfront. Many leaves were on the ground but some were still on the trees, something not usually seen in the rest of our country by that late in the year. What I particularly noticed were the small red Maple trees in the park, I hadn’t realized how many reds could be found in that region of Canada. When I think of reds I tend to think of central Canada. In Alberta most of the leaves change to brilliant yellows and are on the ground by early October. I also decided it was time the header changed. – Leslie
