fall leaves coloring pages for adults

Just like how our personal style changes from summer to winter, nature has its own way of switching things up with fall leaves.

These leaves are part of a natural process called “autumn” or “fall”, where trees prepare for the colder months ahead.

In the summer, leaves are green because they contain a substance called chlorophyll, which helps trees make their own food using the sunlight.

But as days grow shorter and colder, trees can’t make as much food, so the green color fades away.

Uncovered by the green, we see the beautiful yellows, oranges, and reds that were there all along but hidden.

Each type of tree produces a specific color, like the fiery red of maple trees or the bright yellow from gingko trees.

Fall leaves are not only beautiful but also very important for nature.

When they fall, they decompose, enriching the soil with nutrients and helping new plants to grow next spring.

So, when you see those vibrant fall leaves, maybe you will think of them as nature’s color-changing clothes and a valuable gift to the earth, warming it and preparing it for the new life in the spring.
