I found these trees at the University of New Mexico. They’re so pretty, I went back more than once to get some better shots. I call it a Redhead Tree (for obvious reasons).
How many pictures did I take of the Redheads? I’m afraid to say. You might not come back to visit if you knew how many more I was going to post. And if you know the name of this tree, please feel free to be a smart-ass in the comment section. 🙂

wow how beautiful! i wish we had colorful trees and foliage here. we have a small amount of trees that turn a dirty yellow, but very few of vivid color. one of the things i miss from the midwest is a truly colorful fall.

I thought the leaves looked a little like maple leaves, but they also look very similar to pot leaves. PPP. 🙂
