Autumn colours leaves and trees

Autumn trees are a sight to behold. Their leaves change colour from green to vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple, creating a dazzling display of natural beauty.

The leaves change colour as the days get shorter and cooler. The tree begins to produce less chlorophyll, the green pigment that helps the leaves absorb sunlight and photosynthesize. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments in the leaves, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, become more visible. Carotenoids give leaves their yellow and orange colours, while anthocyanins give leaves their red and purple colours.

Thanks for stopping by.
