Description
Autumn in the mountains at its peak color. Mount Moran snow capped with snow.The aspens are beautiful and vibrant in there nature,multicolored orange,yellow and green foliage. The weather affects color intensity in the forest. Temperature, light, and water supply have an influence on the degree and the duration of fall color. Low temperatures above freezing will favor anthocyanin formation producing bright reds in maples. However, early frost will weaken the brilliant red color. Rainy and/or overcast days tend to increase the intensity of fall colors. The best time to enjoy the autumn color would be on a clear, dry, and cool (not freezing) day. Enjoy the colors, it only occurs for a brief period each fall. In between summer and winter, coinciding with the dropping of leaves from the trees as they go into a winter resting period. One of its main features is the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees. Fall traditionally the third of the four seasons. In the northern hemisphere usually the months of September, October, and November the transformation happens. September equinox can occur at any time from the 21st to the 24th day of September. At the equinox, the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west. The changing fall foliage never fails to surprise and delight us. Ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? Why a maple tree turns bright red, where do the yellows and oranges colors come from? The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light." A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red color for some maples and purplish fall colors of trees such as dogwoods and sumacs, while others give the sugar maple its brilliant orange. The autumn foliage on some trees is only yellow colors. Others, like many oak
