Fallen Red Maple Leaves on Grass, Pennsylvania

This photograph of newly fallen red maple leaves on the grasses of a small forest clearing was made on the Allegheny Plateau of northwest Pennsylvania.

I had missed the peak of the autumn colors there by only one day that October. A cold front had come through the night before, with wind and rain knocking most of the remaining leaves to the ground. The colorful fallen leaves were both beneath and on top of the blown-over tall grasses, indicating that the taller stalks had been mostly upright until being knocked down by the storm. The resulting image reminds me of notes on the lines of a musical score.

Photo location: Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
