Early Autumn Leaves

[Don Schaeffer]

The season is changing from Summer to Autumn here in Winnipeg. Some of the leaves on the trees are still green and others have changed to Autumn red. I wanted to see if the process of leaf aging can be seen in the configuration of cells in the leaves. The shapes of the cells definitely change. A coating on the younger leaves obscures the microscope focus as well.
