Every fall I watch the leaves turn and take some pictures. Some of these pictures end up posted on social media sites. There is a science to what we see, but the beauty is there whether we consider the science or not. Learning a little allows a little deeper appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have the opportunity to view the same trees year after year. I find it fascinating that the color and even whether the leaves reveal much color <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sibleyguides.com\/2009\/11\/variation-in-fall-color-red-maple\/\">varies from year to year<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few resources for learning about fall color. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/dnr.wi.gov\/education\/educatorresources\/fallcolors.html\">time to get to it<\/a> if you want to connect this background with what is happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
