Chlorophyll is extremely important to a tree, but it is also very expensive (in terms of energy) for the tree to make. So when the tree is about to drop its leaves, it stops making new chlorophyll. As the old chlorophyll is broken down, the green fades. Other pigments are left in the leaves. #leafphotography #leaf #leafart #leafoffire #fireleaf #redleaf #naturephotography #photographers #oregontrees #oregoncolors #oregonadventures #chlorophyll #energy #treelovers #pigment (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJefzGpBzH/?igshid=8dzt3vqsu2ru
