The Big Leaf Maple (Acer Macrophyllum) is a deciduous tree that commonly forms the green understory in the mixed conifer forests of the Pacific Northwest. During the spring and summer, the maples use sunlight and chlorophyll to create food necessary for the tree’s growth. In late summer and early fall, the big leaf maple produces seeds which are a source of food for many animals. Later in the fall, as the days get shorter and colder, the naturally green chlorophyll in the leaves breaks down and they stop producing food. Other pigments are now visible, causing the leaves to take on beautiful orange and yellow colors. These colors can vary from year to year depending on weather conditions. For instance, when autumn is warm and rainy, the leaves are less colorful. This scene of a yellow farm house and colorful big leaf maple was photographed in Edgewood, Washington State, USA.

Glaciers form when snow accumulates over many years and eventually compacts into ice.
